Thirty years experience. A complete class schedule is at www.kathyadamsclark.com I lead fabulous photo tours for advanced to novice photographers.

I am a photographer, naturalist, and teacher. My goal as a businesswoman is to promote photography and the natural world through teaching. When people understand photography they can enjoy it for a lifetime. When people experience the natural world they will work to preserve it for future generations. Photography has been my passion since I was a child. Then my world centered around playing outsid

e but as a young adult I morphed into a full-fledge naturalist. Mentors taught me the names of the birds, butterflies, flowers, trees, and dragonflies. Today I share this knowledge through my photography. My photos have appeared in hundreds of magazines including on the cover of AAA Journey, Texas Parks & Wildlife, and Texas Highways. Calendars produced by Arbor Day Foundation, Audubon, Barnes & Noble, Sierra, Smith-Southwestern, and others have used my images. My photos have appeared in ad campaigns, guidebooks, textbooks, and brochures. Every week my photos appear in my husband’s ‘Nature’ column in the Houston Chronicle. Since 1999, Gary’s column has taught readers about the birds, butterflies, and natural world around Houston and the world. Gary Clark and I have worked on seven book projects over the years. Texas Wildlife Portfolio, Texas Gulf Coast Impressions, Portrait of Houston, and Texas: A Photographic Journey were published by Farcountry Press. Backroads of the Texas Hillcountry was published by Voyageurs Press. Enjoying Big Bend National Park was published by Texas A&M Press. Texas A&M Press also published Photographing Big Bend National Park. This book features my photos as well as my writing. Over 10,000 people have attended my photography classes at Leisure Learning since 2000. Leisure Learning is a Houston legend and I’m proud to offer 23 different photography classes at two different locations. Many of these students have joined me on workshops and photo tours. My workshops are offered in a variety of locations including Big Bend National Park, Texas hillcountry and ranches, and southern Arizona. Strabo Tours organizes my international photo tours to Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Galapagos, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Morocco, Peru, and Tanzania. Several of these trips are co-led with my husband Gary Clark. I’ve given back by volunteering thousands of hours with North American Nature Photography Association. I’m a charter member, have led several committees, served on the Board of Directors, and was honored to be the President from 2007-2008. My company KAC Productions licenses my photos as well as the images of 15 other talented photographers.

During my photo workshop at Block Creek Natural Area, the day began with a painted bunting in cowpen daisies and ended with a lovely gray fox sitting on a rock. Of course, 1000+ photos in between.

Prague, Czech Republic: One of the joys of travel is walking a city with your camera to see what you'll find. A morning walk on the Strabo Photo Tour Collection trip gave us a chance to discover some beauties. Please click on each image to read the details of each. Memorial to the Velvet Revolution, Welcome of a building, and "Spitfire Butterfly" on the side of a building. Thanks for viewing.

Processing photos this morning from our recent Strabo Photo Tour Collection trip to Prague, Czech. I've used textures on these to change the total feel of the scene. I'm teaching a class in textures in June if you'd like to learn more about this technique. Thanks for looking!

A bit of graffiti on a lock on a door in Prague, Czech. I love these little touches of art out on the street. Somebody out there is very talented. Strabo Photo Tour Collection

I visited Bosnia on a personal trip a few days ago. The siege on Sarajevo was very moving for me when it happened from 1992 to 1996. These memorials are called Sarajevo Rose. They mark a location in Sarajevo where a mortar shell killed more than three people. The damage to the concrete has been filled with red resin. A lovely and touching memorial to people who died. It's nice to see the resilience of people, though, where young people can go through their daily lives almost not noticing.

Arrived in Sarajevo, Bosnia, today to explore the area and return to places where my son was stationed here in the 1990s. This photo is of the city hall area and river but Photoshop did some strange things. Stay tuned for more as the journey continues. Maybe the pixels will align better tomorrow. 😀

One of the most moving memorials in Budapest, Hungary. The Show Memorial along the Danube River. A long row of bronze shoes. During WWII, the Jews were told to take off their shoes before they were executed by the N***s. Shoes were valuable and scarce. Moving memorial to a horrible history. Strabo Photo Tour Collection
