The Photography of Mitch Clark

Biography:

"I was born in Jamaica, New York and was an Eagle Scout at the age of 14. I’m sure that’s where I got my love of the outdoors. I went to Jamaica High School and Hofstra University, where I studied engineering, fine arts, and philosophy and graduated with honors. I always loved my art and photography, but life happened. In 1973 I got a position at the Ideal Toy Company which at that time was one of the largest Toy Companies in the US. I worked my way up and the next 40 years, I had various positions managing structural design in departments for companies, most notably Union Camp Corporation and Internal Monal Paper Corporation.

I also invented and developed five packaging patents related to my work, which were distinguished award winners in the industry. Throughout those years I continued with my art in my spare time, but I never lost my passion. In 1975 my paintings and wood sculptures were featured in a Gallery in Soho, New York. I never lost my interest in photography, but it always seemed to take a backseat to my day job and my paintings and my sculpture. For many years, I was an active member of a camera club in Manhasset, NY where I was awarded the coveted Leonard Victor Award from the Photography Federation of Long Island.

I retired in 2019 and relocated to Florida where I could totally focus on my passion of photography. Throughout the years I have I have taken many photos of people, landscapes, parades, national parks, lighthouses and wildlife. Most of my photos and today are of birds, which I have become an authority on. As part of the Martin County Audubon Society, I have spoken to groups. I share my enthusiasm with others, as I am enrolled in the Florida Audubon Society Eagle Watch program. I simply love taking images of birds in their natural habitats."
