Professional photojournalist Mark M. Hancock discusses photojournalism and the eccentricities associated with gathering images for daily newspapers and magazines.
My clients and colleagues know I give little pop-by gifts to my clients when we tour homes or whenever I’m in their neighborhood. I also have smaller ones for open houses. Each one comes with a “cheesy” little saying about real estate or my services.
I had the fastest-ever hunt-and-kill for a new home. Consequently, I stacked up some gifts while we were inspecting their future home. They were amused and said I could share their video.

I took a CE class today about intro to Chat GPT. It’s an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that can function as a virtual assistant for some minor tasks such as writing property descriptions and such. It has read every book, recorded and transcribed every podcast and combed through most of the internet before 2021 (a cutoff point to check accuracy). This allows it to “create” text based on its own “knowledge” and predictable speech patterns.
To test it, I asked it to define photojournalism. I started snort-laughing in class when its answer randomly paraphrased ME by NAME. 🤣🤣🤣

I’m honored beyond words to have such amazing clients! I will Always Have Your Six!
“Our experience with Mark has been outstanding to say the least. He is truly a wealth of knowledge, a trove of fun facts and the ultimate spokesperson for Texas! Mark walked into every house prepared to help us find the perfect the one and having the ability to share the vision we had. When we finally decided on our forever home, Mark was there every step of the way! He was there for every meeting no matter how big or small to ensure we had the support we needed as first time home buyers. Mark ensured we were prepared with any questions that may come up as well as additional insight that ultimately help us avoid many "pitfalls". We ended with our dream house and an the addition of a new member to our family, Mark. Our conversation always ended with Mark stating he "has your six", with conviction we can say we have yours.”
