"Randy Clark’s art is exactly like him: polite, nice, romantic and mysterious."

Madi Barrena, painter and pianist

"Clark's images are flooded with light."

David Riffert, art historian

I began shooting photos as a boy in the 1960s. In 1966 my father (an excellent photographer, himself) gave me a 35mm single-lens reflex camera, and I have used that medium ever since, with the addition of a digital camera in 2002.

In high school, I studied composition, print-making, and photo essays with Tim Wilbers, who now teaches photography and animation at the University of Dayton, Ohio. That is the extent of my formal training so far, though I've learned much from other photographers—both their pictures and their writings.

People, objects, scenery: any of these can excite me by their variety, by the mystery of this world, and by the things that light can do.
