Mark Karrass

Mark Karrass is a stock photographer for Corbis (now owned by Visual China Group). He has taken several stock images that were used in Windows: the Windows XP wallpaper Ascent, along with sample pictures Blue hills and Winter, along with Longhorn UI demo wallpaper Aero Woods and Argentinian XP Starter Edition's Parque_Nacional_los_Glaciares. As his photos were royalty free and not exclusive to Corbis, they were available on other sites such as Getty Images, although they have since been taken down except on Photononstop. Very little is known about Karrass himself, although he could possibly be Mark Karras.
