Marks städtische Erziehung in Baltimore kultivierte eine tiefe Wertschätzung für die Wildnis, die ihm fehlte, und förderte schon in jungen Jahren eine lebendige Vorstellungskraft. Er erschafft Geschichten, inspiriert von einem Leben voller Abenteuer, von kindlichen Fantasien, die den Wind befehligten, bis hin zu seinen heutigen Spaziergängen durch Wälder, die an die in seinem Debütroman erinnern. Shaw schöpft seine kreative Energie aus diesen persönlichen Erfahrungen und einer tiefen Verbindung zur Natur. Sein erzählerischer Stil lädt die Leser ein, Themen wie Vorstellungskraft und die restaurative Kraft der Natur zu erkunden.
Im Jahr 1953, die gerade erst bekannt gewordene Audrey Hepburn drehte unter Billy Wilder den Paramount-Film 'Sabrina', schickte das amerikanische Fotomagazin LIFE seinen Mitarbeiter Mark Shaw ans Set, um ein paar Aufnahmen von der jungen Schauspielerin zu machen. Über sechzigFilmrollen verschoss der Fotograf. Damals ein Rekord! Doch nur eine Handvoll seiner Fotos wurden tatsächlich veröffentlicht. Die anderen Negative verschwanden – und sollten erst fünfzig Jahre später durch einen Zufall wiedergefunden werden. Dieses Buch versammelt eine Auswahl der schönsten Audrey-Bilder vom 'Sabrina'-Set: anrührende Momentaufnahmen eines kommenden Stars.
