What did Clark do before photography? A: He was working at a botanical garden. He loved surfing at the shore break, and got interested in photography. What do you like about his work? A: His patience and hard work towards his shots is extraordinary. His pictures seem to capture the moment perfectly, and his subjects are always in interesting positions. What do you not like about his work? A: I feel like it's extremely risky because of the weight of the water and the kinds of positions he gets in are dangerous. Handling relatively high-power electronic equipment like flashes under water can b extremely risky. What brand of camera does he use and how does he take it into the water? A: He uses Nikon cameras. He takes them in the water by putting them in a special waterproof case. Is this a career that you would consider, why/why not? A: I would love to try such an activity, but I don't think I could make it a career. I have a strong passion for ph

Q: Which image is your favorite and why? A: My favorite is the soft dice because it's really low-key and has a cool background. Q: Was your subject in focus and background blurry?

Q: Did changing your image to black and white add drama to it? A: Yes, the two images we changed look much better and more dramatic in black and white. The effect singles out the subject and draws focus to it.

A: I like this photo:  It has all the standard stuff: great contrast, emphasis, and tack-sharp focus. Moreover, Clark's pictures seem to have impeccable timing. Most of his pictures are taken at what seems like the climax of the scene, and have me wondering what would happen next.
