Mark Seliger was born in Amarillo, Texas in 1959. He lived with his parents and his two older brothers and one younger sister. In 1964 they moved to Houston, Texas. Seliger was quite involved in Little League baseball. His parents signed him up to play when he was young. His early interest in photography started when one day his older brother, Frank, told him that he would give him his Diana Camera if he got a base hit in one of his games. Unfortunately, he did not hit the ball BUT he did get on base because he got hit in the shoulder, so he got to walk onto first base. He still ended up getting the camera. (Mark Seliger) Mark quickly became obsessed with his camera and fell in love with developing his pictures in his makeshift darkroom that
