Clyde Butcher

 So long as I was out near the midpoint between Naples and Miami on the Tamiami Trail, I drove a bit further toward Miami to visit Clyde Butcher's Big Cypress Gallery.


Clyde Butcher is in his mid-80s.  For decades he has made beautiful large format black-and-white photographs, with a big emphasis on photographing the Everglades.




The image on the left is one of the ones I looked at and admired for a long time.

I follow him on FB, and am thrilled at the large format B&W photos he produces.

Solomon Butcher has beautiful b&w photos of the Everglades. I am reminded of another photographer, Clyde Butcher who photographed pioneer Nebraska during the homestead era leave 3,000 glass plates to the Nebraska Historical Society.
