Clyde Butcher suffered a stroke that has impaired the right side of his body last May, including his shutter-button finger, but now he is recovering well.

UPDATE ON CLYDE'S HEALTH, from Niki: Going into the New Year, Clyde is doing well, but the doctor says it can take up to a year or more for him to regain his abilities from his stroke last May. So far, he’s ahead of schedule, and that is good! He’s now at the stage of almost being able to walk without a walker, almost being able to use his hand for long periods of time with the computer mouse, almost being able to get up without a grunt, and the list goes on…I guess you’d call it the ‘almost stage’. It’s frustrating for him because he can almost do things, but not really. Everything takes a lot of effort and he easily gets worn out. Thank you for your support while Clyde recovers.

GLACIER POINT HALF DOME © 2009 Yosemite National Park, CA The fog rolled in and the people rolled out! The view was obliterated with fog and only Niki and I remained. We waited and waited. I was at last rewarded with a couple of shots before the fog swept in once again, completely covering Half Dome with beautiful white silence. #clydebutcher #bnwphotography #landscape #largeformat #filmphotography #darkroom #yosemite

Little Butternut Key 8- 2001 film photograph by Clyde Butcher. This is one of the places Clyde has revisited over the years and has documented the ever changing landscape. The Florida coast is frequently sculpted by the elements. #florida #clydebutcher #realfl #filmphotography #darkroom #visitflorida #beachlife

gaskin Bay 5 - This set of mangroves is located near the channel into Everglades City. I have passed them many times, but the light was always wrong for photographing them. On this day everything came together, the light, the clouds, and the stillness of the water. #evergladesnationalpark #blackandwhitephotography #largeformatphotography #kodak #filmphotography

Dennis Creek 3 - Clyde's newest black and white photograph was taken in Cedar Key, FL. Clyde might have some limitations since his stroke but he hasn't lost his eye for composition. This photo is evidence of his ability to draw the viewer in to Florida's wild landscapes. #wildflorida #florida #landscapes #vistas #clydebutcher #blackandwhitephotography
