Both Butcher and Ripple approached this project as artists, rather than scientists, venturing deep into the swamp in search of perfect locations and light. The photos, accompanied by the photographers' thoughts, are a celebration of this mysterious land.

Mac is a fine art photographer living in Bradenton, Florida. He has been taking and printing traditional and digital photographs for over 30 years. He specializes in Florida flowers, primarily photographed close up in their natural settings. The printed result is intended to have a botanical or painterly feel, and Mac refers to them as “portraits.” Other main bodies of work include infrared landscapes, agricultural scenes, and creative photographic manipulations in Photoshop. The work is presented in black & white and in color. Mac makes a living in the farming, ranching and nursery business in Manatee and Sarasota County, Florida, and is actively involved in many aspects of the local business, environmental and cultural communities. The Ag Museum is open Tuesday through Friday and the first and third Saturday of the month from 10:00 am – noon and 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm. The museum will be closed for the holidays from December 24th thru January 4th. Admittance is free.

Gallery will be showing exhibit from 10am-3pm starting 11/16-12/17. State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota (SCF) Fine Art Gallery will display cutting-edge images by contemporary artist John Hampshire at an opening reception 6 p.m. - 8 p.m., Friday, Nov. 13, at SCF Bradenton, 5840 26th St. West, building 11 North. The reception is free and open to the public. The exhibit, “John Hampshire: Expressive Eccentricities,” features his unique work that combines colorful confetti-like paint strokes with a static, formal portrait. A 2002 New York Times review states, “John Hampshire is a virtuoso with a brush. When looking at his oversize canvases, viewers might imagine him handling his brushes like an orchestra conductor who waves his wand with punctuation and prowess.” As a commitment to offer the public and academic community examples of cutting-edge trends in contemporary art, SCF also has invited Hampshire to discuss his artistic form with students at SCF. Hampshire is an assistant professor of studio art at Adirondack Community College in New York. He has a master of fine arts in painting from Skidmore College. He has exhibited individual and group work at Washington Square East Galleries, John Sayles School of Fine Arts and Soho20 in New York. Fine art exhibit dates are Nov. 13 - Dec. 17. Gallery hours are Monday - Friday, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. The gallery is closed Nov. 25 - 27 for Thanksgiving. For more information, call Joe Loccisano, gallery manager, at 941-752-5225.
