    I am an ardent fan of NASA and anything that has t I am an ardent fan of NASA and anything that has to do with the stars and the universe. I was invited to photograph the shuttle that carried John Glenn’s second trip into outer space. 

It also carried a scientist friend's project: pregnant fish. They were the first species to give birth in space. The object was to see if fish could be a renewable food source for space travel. 

Watching the shuttle liftoff toward the heavens was a very powerful experience. 

While watching, I was inspired to the realization that we can do anything we set our minds to and this gave me a wonderful hope for the future. It was a great experience.

    Oregon has the most wonderful array of driftwood I Oregon has the most wonderful array of driftwood I have ever seen. This beach was filled with large trees that had been thrown up on the beach by the winter storms. They made for wonderful photography and I had a wonderful time photographing them.

    Crystal River, the gem of Florida’s beautiful Na Crystal River, the gem of Florida’s beautiful Nature Coast, is about a two hour drive from Tampa. Because Kings Bay is one of the best places in the world to observe manatees, Crystal River is an international destination. 

Kings Bay, which has been designated an “Outstanding Florida Waterway,” offers opportunities for boating, diving, swimming, and fishing as well as a variety of Manatee and Eco-Tours. 

In addition, there are miles of nature trails to hike, bike and observe an abundance of birds, deer, alligators and other wildlife.

    The Loxahatchee River is one of two designated wil The Loxahatchee River is one of two designated wild and scenic rivers in Florida. So when the Water Management Districts of Florida asked Clyde to photograph it to help celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Save Our Rivers program, he was excited to experience the river. 

He was awed by the river's primeval feeling. He was certain he would see Tequesta Indians peaking out from behind the trees…it is truly a beautiful place, and one of the many treasures of Florida. Clyde spent three years photographing the river before he felt like he had captured the essence of the Loxahatchee. 

On one particular day, two things happened: first, the light was right, and second, Clyde got out of his canoe and walked it down the river rather than paddling it. He became one with the river, and it seemed like he saw perfect subjects for photographs everywhere he looked. It was a wonderful and exciting day, resulting in the capturing of many images.
