Research Interests
Clark Colby is a professional tinkerer who loves learning new things and exploring the world. Currently teaches digital photography in the Art and Visual Cultures department. Works with the ISU Extension and Outreach program to develop learning opportunities and curriculum for 4-H Youth across Iowa in the Arts, Communication, and Design. He spends many nights and weekends renovating old houses in Ames, tending the gardens, and removing all the grass he can legally replace with native pollinators and productive vegetable gardens. Raises backyard ducks and chickens and harvests 800-1500 pounds of delicious produce from his yard annually. He travels extensively in a Promaster cargo van, self-converted into a camper van with solar and lithium batteries, 96,000 miles, 42 states, ten provinces, two territories, and counting!
