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.

Today we remember and thank all the brave men and women who have defended our freedoms. Your sacrifice and courage will never be forgotten.

“My first baptism in swamp water was in Big Cypress Swamp, where I felt a primeval presence unlike anything I had known. I entered a world where time seemed to fold in on itself, merging the past, present, and future in a single breath.” – Clyde Butcher

Here’s to exploring, celebrating, and giving back to the swamp that started it all.

Join us at the Swamp Heritage Festival on December 7th at the Big Cypress Welcome Center, where Clyde will be joining us to celebrate 50 years of preservation and adventure!
