Clyde Butcher quotes:

Wilderness, to me, is a spiritual necessity. The mysterious spiritual experience of being close to natural restored my soul [after the death of his son]. My experience reinforced by dedication to use the art of photography as an inspiration for others to work together to save nature's places of spiritual sanctuary for future generations.

The only way you're going to save things in life is through love, and that's what we're trying to do .... make people fall in love with Florida.

Becoming a professional artist takes talent and perseverance, even more so when the field is photography.

Only in black and white can I see the design and textures. I don't consider color photography art. Black and white is an interpretation. Color is a duplication.
