Clyde’s Dedication

I dedicate this book with the deepest gratitude and love to my wife, Niki. From the moment we crossed paths, I recognized Niki as my soulmate. Our shared aspiration for a life beyond the ordinary brought us together. Niki embraced the unconventional path and encouraged me when I decided to leave my architectural career and pursue my dream of becoming a photographer. During the challenging early days, as financial uncertainties loomed, she stood by my side, securing a job, setting aside her art, and caring for our children, allowing me the time and space to develop as an artist. Over the years, we have become inseparable companions, navigating every twist and turn together. The photographs I create are not solely my own; Niki is an integral part of each image. To Niki, my muse and partner, this book is a tribute to the indelible mark you’ve left on both my life and my art.
Praise for Clyde

“Clyde’s images are like jewels of treasured moments. Butcher waits patiently for the right light to transform the land. Much like the work of his kindred spirit, Ansel Adams, Butcher cares for his subjects, and it shows in how he can reach the viewer’s heart, imagination, and spirit engendering the ‘one world’ philosophy he has promoted—one world to care for and appreciate beyond the urban sprawl.” -Brian Byrn, Curator of Exhibitions & Education, Midwest Museum of American Art, Elkhart, Indiana
