The magic of the darkroom is what first attracted Frank Clarkson to photography, and his fascination with photographing people is what has kept him interested. He photographs lots of children and older people. What is it about the young and the old that the rest of us don't have? An essence of being, a knowledge beyond the temporal. This is what Frank looks for in every person he photographs -- that spark of life, that voice that says "this is who I am."

Photo Gallery has quickly become one of the internet's most attractive pages for New England seacoast images. All photos are copyrighted, of course, and may not be used without permission. But they will be here when ever you want to see them. So enjoy!
