The profile, titled &#8220;Rock On,&#8221; discusses a wide variety of topics including several close calls, a few specific pieces of gear I use, my Newsletter, how I market my images, and also a few behind the scenes stories from recent assignments. To give you a taste of the profile, here is an excerpt from the opening paragraphs:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI consider my job not a job but a lifestyle,\u201d Clark says. Besides daredevil feats that most photographers couldn\u2019t stomach, it requires the flexibility to travel nearly constantly. \u201cI just got back from Patagonia, now I\u2019m going to Hawaii, and I\u2019m back one day and then I go to Colorado,\u201d he says. It also calls for a deep understanding of adventure sports, a passion that drew Clark to photography in the first place.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>PPA is a professional photographers organization that caters to wedding, portrait, senior and family photographers so my work was quite a departure from their normal fare. With over 29,000 members it is also one of the largest professional photography organizations in the world.\u00a0My thanks to Amanda Arnold for tracking me down and crafting this profile.
