Extreme Exposure Everglades - Clyde Butcher

Clyde Butcher is one of America's acclaimed environmental artists. Some people call him the Ansel Adams of the Everglades. But his technique is so largely based on intuition that he describes himself as a "point-and-shoot" photographer. Butcher has a clear goal with his photography. 
He wants to inspire people to protect our environment. And he feels he should do his part, too. Butcher is one of the most visible (and visual) campaigners for the protection and restoration of Florida's unique wetlands. Using large format cameras (ranging from 4 x 5 inches to 12 x 20) and very long exposure times (one second to six minutes), he works only in black and white.
