The Disney Wilderness Preserve is the result of an

The Disney Wilderness Preserve is the result of an innovative agreement between The Nature Conservancy, government regulatory agencies, and Disney, which may change the course of restoration and mitigation practices in Florida.

I was curious to see what it was that Disney and The Nature Conservancy had worked to protect, so when I was invited to photograph the Preserve, I jumped at the chance. The 12,5000 acres contains some of the most beautiful land I have seen.

It does my heart good to know this part of Florida will still exist in its natural state years from now because Disney and The Nature Conservancy cared enough to save it.

Please join me in wishing my beautiful wife Niki a happy 80th birthday today.

For over 60 years, you’ve been by my side through every challenge and every joy. This award is as much yours as it is mine—a true team effort, together as one. Love you always. ❤️

When the Wilderness Society asked me to photograph

When the Wilderness Society asked me to photograph the Grand Staircase-Escalante region of Utah to help save the land from oil exploration, I readily agreed.

I had a great time exploring and photographing the area. The rugged, wind-blown rocks and ever-changing shadows that formed across the boulders made for endless photographic opportunities.

The Wilderness Society chose my photographs to help influence President Clinton to use his authority under the Antiquities Act of 1906 to designate Escalante as the largest of all the United States National Monuments.

I am grateful my images helped preserve this magnificent place in our country.

What a day! From the Everglades to the Oval Office

What a day! From the Everglades to the Oval Office, watching my dad, Clyde Butcher, receive the National Medal of Arts from President Biden was an experience we’ll never forget.

I asked my parents how they felt, but they were so overwhelmed by the honor that they couldn’t find the words. It’s hard to put into perspective—being recognized for a lifetime of capturing nature’s beauty and fighting to protect it.

Meeting the President and getting this award was both humbling and surreal for all of us. We’re beyond grateful for all the support along this journey.

Thank you for being a part of it.

When I first moved to Florida, I was taking color

When I first moved to Florida, I was taking color photos of the landscape. But after the devastating loss of my son Ted, I realized in 1986 that I needed to return to what I truly loved—black and white photography.

Moonrise was the first black and white photo I took in Florida, marking the start of a new chapter in my life and my art. It became a way for me to heal and reconnect with the environment. Receiving the National Medal of Arts is an incredible honor that reflects this journey back to what matters most.
