I have a link to Clyde Butcher’s website in my “Favourite Photographers” section and I’ve just come across this interesting video on Youtube., where he talks about the practicalities of making images with an 8×10 large format camera whilst wading in a swamp containing alligators (the Everglades).
It seems a good time to post the link (ten days before Xmas) because, well, Clyde looks a lot like Santa Claus !
