We’re thrilled to share Clyde’s photographs of Big Cypress National Preserve in celebration of the park's 50th anniversary.

Each landscape captures the essence of patience, perseverance, and determination. Clyde will wait for hours, allowing the light, clouds, and composition to align perfectly.

Equipped with camera gear weighing up to 120 pounds, he traverses challenging terrain and stands in chest-deep water for hours, committed to capturing the beauty of nature.

Throughout November and December, 15% of sales from Clyde's photo taken in Big Cypress National Preserve will be donated to S.W.A.M.P. (Swamp Water and Me Program), an initiative that takes every 6th grader in Collier County on a swamp walk, fostering a love and respect for this land in future generations.

Click through our recent posts to see some of our favorite images Clyde has captured in Big Cypress National Preserve.

This image was captured off Loop Road, just 6 mile

This image was captured off Loop Road, just 6 miles west of our gallery on Tamiami Trail, with the exit located 13 miles east. While compiling the Everglades book in 2020, we sought to include a previously unpublished photo for the Limited Edition Collection.

Clyde meticulously sifted through his negatives and discovered this gem that had never before been printed. This exclusive 11x14 silver gelatin photograph is only available with the limited edition book, which is limited to an edition of 125 copies.

I had spent the day photographing deep in the Ever

I had spent the day photographing deep in the Everglades with my friend, Oscar Thompson. As the day grew late, I saw the sky develop into an extraordinary cloud pattern, and I knew I’d have to make a choice. I could safely leave the Everglades while there was still light, or stay and take the photo. I chose the photograph.

As the sun fell behind the horizon and the land shifted to pitch black, the swamp came alive with the sounds of nocturnal animals and insects. I was very grateful to be with Oscar, a fifth-generation Floridian, who was familiar with this daunting land.

While out in Big Cypress with Oscar Thompson, I wa

While out in Big Cypress with Oscar Thompson, I was looking for photographic opportunities with my new 8×10” camera, having switched from color to black and white film. The sculptural quality of a tree caught my eye as perfect for black and white.

When I got home, I was eager to develop my film, but I faced a problem I had never encountered in California. There, the air and tap water temperatures were similar, making film development straightforward. In Florida, my air-conditioned house was at 73 degrees, while the incoming water was 86 degrees. This temperature difference caused the film to crack. I was upset because it meant I could only enlarge the beautiful image to 20×24” without showing the cracks.
