Photography, Writing, & Music by Mark S. Lee
I appeared a contestant on the February 12, 2015, episode of the NPR quiz show Ask Me Another!
Spoiler alert: I didn’t win, but I managed to get a good laugh out of Jonathan Coulton and Ophira Eisenberg with a hi-larious Terminator joke. You can listen on the NPR website or download the episode from iTunes.
For the second year in a row, Overthinking It produced a series of videos reviewing the songs of the Eurovision song competition, and for the second year in a row, I managed to review the song that wound up winning the whole thing.

The Highline Chamber Orchestra is my brother-in-law’s contemporary/pop/casual string ensemble, and I’ve had the pleasure of photographing three of their performances:

At their fall concert, November 15, 2013:

More pictures, and information about their future concerts, can be found on their website.
In the weeks leading up to the 2013 Eurovision song contest, Overthinking It created a video series that reviewed all 39 entries and, not coincidentally, attracted the ire of 39 European countries.
I was lucky enough to have reviewed the song that wound up winning it all, “Only Teardrops” by Emmelie de Forest from Denmark. Watch the video here:
