Picture of Dan Clark

Brief Biographical Sketch:

Dan Clark studied photography in Rochester, NY, then escaped for the warmer climes of California. He and his wife run a commercial photography business, with studios in San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
They got into digital photography in the very early days, when a 4 megapixel back cost $35,000. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. They do work for clients such as Abbott Vascular, Adobe Systems, Genentech, Google, Juniper Networks, KPMG, Palm, Symantec Corporation and Varian Medical Systems.
Dan also started the first Adobe Photoshop users group, which he still leads at Adobe Systems in San Jose.
