The images in this portfolio feature Clark's controversial documentation of young drug addicts in Oklahoma. Clark was born and raised in Tulsa. His mother was an itinerant baby photographer whom he asisted as a teeanger. These personal images depicting the self-destructive activities of his friends are recognized icons of 1970s counterculture.
