- Diana Mulvihill, Lifestyle Photographer

“Hi tony- …Here is a write-up… It’s about the (Microsoft) campaign in the context of ‘my journey’, as they say:

This was a really nice campaign for Microsoft's Back to School that I shot in Los Angeles. It’s been over a decade since I graduated from Art Center, and I feel like I’m in a really great place in my career: I’ve photographed enough big campaigns to be practiced, and that translates to a confidence and calm on set that is passed on to the crew and client. Shoot days are creative, cooperative, and fun for all involved, which I am happy about being a part of in an industry that can feel rushed and sometimes stressful.

At this point, a lot of campaigns live mostly digitally, and I think that this is the case with this one. We captured images of students working with various brands of laptops and tablets to highlight Microsoft’s various learning platforms and software.”

- Mark Sarkisian, Entrepreneur, Revolutionizing the Golf Experience

“Tony- I hope all is well. I have attached a article from Golf Magazine that acknowledged me as an adaptive golf consultant. It’s a great non profit.  I have set a meeting with the Director of Golf for LA County to see if Barrier Golf charity can possibly replicate it here in Southern California.

Thank you for your mentorship, friendship, and guidance. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Best,”

Mark 

From Golf.com, Aug. 2022, article written by Josh Berhow

Why this pioneering golf course is focusing on access just as much as design

“….When unveiled next spring, its design and facilities will make it among the most inviting in the world — a course created predominantly for the adaptive golfer. There will be no bunkers at The Loop, and though all the grass has yet to grow in, there won’t be any rough whenever it does. Carts will be permitted to drive everywhere (even on slopes and greens), while the adjacent facilities are being constructed to accommodate disabled golfers. If anything like this has ever existed in golf, it certainly wasn’t intentional.”

Tanelle Bolt had one thought when she first saw The Loop under construction last summer: Why doesn’t everybody do this?

Bolt, 35, is paralyzed. Eight years ago she suffered a free-jumping accident and burst her T6 vertebra. Before her accident she managed two companies and competed in fitness competitions. Now she’s made it her mission to raise awareness about the lack of equipment and resources available to those with mobility issues — and to help those who are in need of it.

Bolt and Mark Sarkisian, who has polio, were brought in as adaptive design consultants and drove specialty carts around the property to make sure the terrain was workable. The course will buy about eight to 10 of these single-rider golf carts for those who need them. The wheels are wider, offset and have a different tread and weight distribution so they can drive on the greens at no harm to the course.”
