In my early days as a photo maker 'what's worth doing' meant "how to get paid" but in time the questions sought "more" goals or reasons to make images, to open deeper values or meaning, further explorations, and possibly popular acceptance. My clear sense was "there are indeed" valid new ways to photograph people, which in the late 1980's led me to devise "barefoot portraits", which certainly wasn't earth shattering but it did define a new portrait paradigm.And an international photo magazine, "Camera & Darkroom, " spread the word about this work-which generated a worldwide response.

Pictures can capture more information than we realize. A sense of ‘presence in the moment' and sheer vitality can carry more “meat” than the mere ‘what we look like' aspects of a photo. It's the difference between capturing *how we are* as a presence, versus simply what we look like as physical objects.
So that's what I'm up to. Please let me know if you'd like to join my process. I did only men at the start, because I thought they'd be harder or less receptive, but they've been great too. So now I'm doing women and couples and kids & pets. Call (269-7700) or send me a note: -Clark. This wonderful tree is the first in a series of limited edition prints I am offering.
