Niki Vogel and Clyde married in the summer of 1963

Niki Vogel and Clyde married in the summer of 1963. While visiting Yosemite National Park, the couple saw an Ansel Adams photography exhibit; Clyde was so impressed that he began photographing landscapes in black and white.

Early in my career, Jonathan Livingston Seagull wa

Early in my career, Jonathan Livingston Seagull was a best-selling novel. I was drawn to the image of the seagull on the book cover. Inspired, I sought to create a similar photograph featuring seagulls.

On a foggy day, I photographed two seagulls gliding through the air. They were spaced far apart, creating negative space between them. When I printed the image, I accidentally double-exposed the paper. Since it wasn't what I intended, I threw the photograph in the garbage.

Later, Niki found it and suggested I print it again since it reflected the book so well. I shared this image with my employees, and they resoundingly agreed with Niki! I learned a valuable lesson - sometimes accidents are a good thing!

“Clyde didn’t always dream of being a photographer, and he didn’t set out to become an environmentalist; both of these things organically came together through a series of life choices and choices life made for him.

Maybe it was his first visit to Yosemite with his girlfriend (now wife, Niki) that kindled affectionate feelings for natural parks and preserves.

Perhaps it was his aversion to sitting at a desk that prompted him to explore nature. It was definitely his lack of interest in drawing that led him initially to photography and propelled his first photography business.”

📷 This is an excerpt from Clyde’s upcoming book, Lifeworks in Photography.

I am so grateful for all the lessons my mother taught me - dreams were meant to be chased, take risks and keep on growing. I wouldn't be who I am without her.

Wishing all the moms out there a most wonderful day!

It was a wonderful experience to share Clyde’s images with folks who visit the @floridahousedc in Washington, DC. We met so many amazing people who care about Florida, as well as our country… very inspiring.
