About the Cover
         The cover photo, Tamiami Trail #1, and several others accompanying the article on Everglades restoration are the work of Clyde Butcher, often described as the Amsel Adams of the Everglades.

         Butcher's award-winning black-and-white photographs are created using large-format view cameras that allow him to capture elaborate detail and textures. The finished prints range in size from 11-by-14 inches to 5-by-7 feet.

         This photo was taken with a 5- by 7-inch view camera along Tamiami Trail in the Big Cypress National Preserve new Ochopee in fall 1996.

         Butcher's work has been featured in three books: Clyde Butcher - 1995 Limited Edition Collection' Clyde Butcher: Portfolio I, Florida Landscapes; and his biography, Seeing the Light - Wilderness and Salvation: A Photographer's Tale.
