Regarding Clyde Butcher's point and shoot, several of us then “regulars” to the swamp joking referred to his camera as a “Clyde-a-wide.” Clyde put piece of plywood on top of a 5x7 back, taped it together with gaffer's tape with a helical mounted lens; a 38mm Super Angulon as I recall, although it could have been the Rodenstock equivalent. It was a true point and shoot. The convergence was extreme and a bit wide for my taste. I believe many of the images were eventually cropped, but if you look through the site (http://www.clydebutcher.com/) you may find an image or two that was created with it.

Like Brian, I miss my soirees into the muck and orchids with Clyde. It was fun while I lived there.
