About the Print by Clyde Butcher (from website and studio) When I saw this solitary mangrove surrounded by crystal clear water, the simplicity of the image attracted me to the scene. The transparency of the water illustrates the importance of clean water to the Everglades system, and I hope this photograph raises awareness and reminds us to help keep our waters pristine for future generations. Off the southeast coast of Peninsular Florida, there are over 800 small charted islands whose origins are in the sea itself and the life it supports! Ancient sand shoals on the bottom of the ocean floor were believed to have created the shallow warm water conditions conducive to the growth of abundant corals and other calcium carbonate-forming sea inhabitants. Coral developed into dense reefs, like thick thriving underwater forests reaching from 10–18 feet in height. Over thousands of years, other marine organisms contributed to the seafloor as their skeletal remains and organic secretions accumulated. As sea level slowly receded during the last ice age, both coral and accumulated marine sediments became exposed and formed the Florida Keys. Shell Key was taken with a Deardorff 5×7 on T-Max 100 film. Camera settings: f/45 | 72mm Schneider Super-Angulon XL lens | orange filter | 1 second. After photographing the image and developing the film in the darkroom, Clyde scanned the negative and in the same way he does in a ‘wet’ darkroom, the photograph was “dodged” and “burned”. The image was then printed on acid free, fine art paper. Clyde printed this giclee between 2006-2010 and it has not been digitally printed since.
