    We named our backyard pond Whilden’s Pond in hon We named our backyard pond Whilden’s Pond in honor of the man who owned the property before us, Leon Whilden. He was a hermit who lived in Big Cypress and turned the property into an orchid and exotic plant nursery. 

During the winter, so many birds spend time in our pond that it’s like having the Discovery Channel right outside the swamp cottage window! Watching all of the birds made me long to photograph them; however, capturing them with a large format camera is nearly impossible because of the slow shutter speeds. 

Generally, animals don’t wait around to have their photo taken. I resolved my dilemma by using Niki’s 6×7 Pentax camera with a 1200mm lens.

I was working downstairs when I looked outside and saw a beautiful egret standing majestically on a log in our pond. I ran upstairs to where I had Niki’s camera all set up and waiting, then very slowly opened the window so I wouldn’t scare the bird, and took the photograph. 

So, I tell folks that my bird photography is done in the comfort of my own air-conditioned home…I just open the window and take the photograph!

    This was the first photograph Clyde took after the This was the first photograph Clyde took after the death of his son, Ted, who, at 17 years old, was killed by a drunk driver in 1986. Out of Clyde’s sorrow came the light of seeing the world around him in a different way. 

In his time of grief, Clyde disappeared for days at a time into the Everglades. He seemed to become one with the land. This time spent in nature brought him to the turning point in his career. 

Realizing color photography was not his passion, and it was not expressing what he felt, Clyde decided life was short, and if he wanted to do black and white, he should at least try.

    This river is the pride of the community of Jupite This river is the pride of the community of Jupiter on the east coast of Florida. It is a wild and scenic river that runs through town, but when you are canoeing on it you’d never know you were a step away from a busy community.
