It went live last Friday, and it featured some interesting questions &#8211; quite different than the normal ones I get. It also had one of the best intros I have ever read\u00a0for one of my interviews. The author, Brook Sutton, prefaced the article with the following:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;There\u2019s something exquisite about watching someone do something really well. It could be bowling, as far as I\u2019m concerned. When someone moves in a way they\u2019ve trained and practiced and were born to move, it\u2019s visual poetry.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Capturing that fusion of grace and power in a still image is another thing entirely. Michael Clark has the eye. Perhaps it\u2019s because he\u2019s an athlete, too, that he understands the crux moments of movement. In a single frame, he\u2019s able to somehow show both the intensity and emotion of the human body, and the enormity of the landscape that body is moving through. That ain\u2019t easy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Clark\u2019s images, while heavy in adventure, don\u2019t discriminate: fringe to mainstream and backcountry to urban are all fair game. Lest we pigeonhole his skills to just shooting sports, his full portfolio is stuffed with character-rich portraits and jaw-dropping landscapes, too. But today we\u2019re feeling inspired by, as Clark calls it, \u201cthe fleeting moment of passion, gusto, flair, bravado.\u201d Enjoy.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The images were collected from my Instagram account for the article.
