David Clack has been a professional photographer for the past 23 years. He started his career as a biomedical photographer at Colorado State University. David is the CEO of Colorado Photographics, Inc., and recently opened the Illustrated Light Gallery of Fine Art Photography in Old Town Fort Collins, Colorado. In 1990, David served on the community advisory board for One West Contemporary Art Center, now the Museum of Contemporary Art (COCA). He currently is on the board of advisors and is the Artistic Director and Curator for the Center of Fine Art Photography.
David's first book Colorado Fine Art Landscape & Nature Photography was published in 1998. He has been selling his prints in galleries throughout Colorado for many years. In 2002, David was invited to be a keynote speaker at the United Nations "Year of the Mountain" conference in Malaysia on photographing the Rocky Mountains. Having won numerous awards for his photography in both black & white and color, David's work reflects the passion he has for photography.

Most of the images displayed have been photographed with a 4x5 Toyo large-format field camera. The two types of film that Dave uses most are Fuji Velvia (ASA 50) and Provia (ASA 100). The images are then printed as an archival giclée print using the state of the art technology. Because of the large format camera and the type of printing process used, Dave can enlarge an image to mural size without losing sharpness and still maintain the vivid colors and detail found in the original transparency. With the giclée process, Dave can print on a variety of substrates. Displayed under UV glass a giclée, can last up to 150 years.

"As a young boy, I would hike and camp throughout the Colorado wilderness. I marveled at the beauty and purity of it all: the crisp, clean air and the sound of wind rustling through the tops of ponderosa pine. Growing older I wondered: "Where did all this come from, how could something so beautiful exist?" In the back of my mind I knew it was God's creation, yet I suppressed those thoughts, not wanting to deal with the confrontation of God's existence and mine. Now as an adult, I have reconciled my separation from God through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, through whom all things are possible. So, it is my joy and honor to thank Him who has made the culmination of these images possible for you to enjoy."

"You are worthy, our Lord & God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things . . ."

Rev. 4:11

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”

Romans 1:20-23.
