Islamorada, FL – July 10, 2013 – Celebrated Florida landscape photographer Clyde Butcher and his “Preserving Eden” exhibit will open July 13th at the new Florida Keys Discovery Center, located on the grounds of the Islander Resort, a Guy Harvey Outpost in Islamorada. With over 30 photographs, most in the artist’s signature large format black and white, the exhibit uses Butcher’s own words as well as ecology-themed story boards to put the Everglades and other Florida environs into a conservation context, said Matthew Woodside, curator at the South Florida Museum in Bradenton, which developed the traveling display.
To coincide with the opening of the exhibit Guy Harvey Outpost Resorts & Lodges announced the launch of its “Share YOUR Adventure” photo contest on Facebook, with prizes for the best adventure travel photos. Commenting on the timing of the launch Outpost President Mark Ellert noted, “Guy Harvey and Clyde Butcher are synonymous with the visual arts and conservation. Here we have two great artists with one resonant message: celebrate and conserve this great ecosystem called the Everglades.”
When asked what transforms a photograph into art, Butcher responded, “I think it’s obviously the person behind the camera who creates the art. Art doesn’t come from fancy equipment. It comes from a way of seeing the world.” Clyde Butcher’s powerful black and white photographs explore his personal bond with the environment. The exquisite beauty and depth of his work draw the viewer into a relationship with nature. A large format camera allows him to capture elaborate detail and textures that distinguish the intricacy of the landscape.
Beginning August 1st, aspiring artists and Guy Harvey fans will be encouraged on Facebook to post photos of their memorable travel experiences. Grand prize winners of the Outpost photo contest will be showcased in the Guy Harvey magazine and receive sportswear, travel gear and accessories from program partners including AFTCO, Go Pro, Sixt Car Rental, Divers Direct and others. Details at <a href="http://facebook.com/GuyHarveyOutpostIslamorada" target="_blank">facebook.com/GuyHarveyOutpostIslamorada</a> are forthcoming.
Robin Schlaudecker, general manger of the Islander Resort, a Guy Harvey Outpost noted the Florida Keys Discovery Center and Theater is being designed with the help of the Guy Harvey Outpost organization to showcase the history and environmental conservation efforts underway throughout the Keys. “Photography and art are powerful communication tools. We intend to use both as we transform the Islander facilities at Oceanside and Bayside into the newest member of the Guy Harvey Outpost family.”
Despite new guestroom interiors, extensive upgrades to the lobby and other public spaces, the conversion will not change Islander’s character. Resort owner David Curry and marine life artist Guy Harvey are both committed to enhancing Islander’s signature casual Keys’ ambiance that has made the resort so unique and popular including the resort’s iconic signage.
The sign marks the entrance of Islander, a Guy Harvey Outpost Resort, at mile-marker 82. With 139 guestrooms, suites and two-bedroom townhomes for extended stays, the Islander Outpost offers the best in casual Keys’ hospitality with its expansive beachfront, pools and 14-slip marina basin.
The exhibit is free, and open to the public from July 13 to September 4, 2013.

BIMINI, THE BAHAMAS— AUGUST 17, 2010—Celebrated artist and conservationist <a title="Guy Harvey Inc. web site" href="http://www.guyharvey.com" target="_blank">Guy Harvey</a> along with his <a title="About Guy Harvey Outposts, Ltd." href="http://www.biggameclubbimini.com/aboutus.htm" target="_blank">Guy Harvey Outpost organization</a> announced today plans to team with renown dive authority <a title="Neal Watson's web site" href="http://www.nealwatson.com/" target="_blank">Neal Watson</a> to offer “top of class” dive centers at Guy Harvey Outpost resort properties. Their first dive center will open in mid October at the newly renovated and rebranded <a title="Bimini Big Game Club web site" href="http://www.biggameclubbimini.com/" target="_blank">Bimini Big Game Club, a Guy Harvey Resort & Marina</a>.
In announcing Neal Watson’s Dive Bimini, a Guy Harvey Outpost Dive Center, the pair noted their excitement in joining forces to bring Neal Watson’s legendary diving reputation and world record accomplishments together with Guy Harvey’s internationally recognized work in marine research, underwater photography and marine life art.
Known fondly as The Dive God within the scuba diving community, Watson is considered one of the world’s foremost “Shark Encounter” divers and a member of the <a title="DEMA Hall of Fame" href="http://www.dema.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=41" target="_blank">DEMA Hall of Fame</a>. Watson started diving in the <a title="Islands of the Bahamas" href="http://www.bahamas.org" target="_blank">Bahamas</a> in the mid 1960’s, setting the Scuba depth record in 1968. He opened a <a title="Bimini - Islands of the Bahamas" href="http://www.bahamas.com/out-islands/bimini" target="_blank">Bimini</a> dive operation in 1975, where he lived and worked until the mid 1980s before expanding throughout the Bahamas and Caribbean under the Neal Watson Undersea Adventures brand.
“In a manner of speaking, I’m going back to the future. Neal Watson’s Dive Bimini, a Guy Harvey Outpost Dive Center will offer our guests access and insights into Bimini’s veritable treasure trove of dive sites and experiences, most of which I had the good fortune to discover”, Watson notes with his customary humility. “Working with Guy and his many colleagues is going to seriously raise the bar on Bahamas diving for the benefit of every customer who dives with us.”
<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/guyneal3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-56" title="Guy Harvey and Neal Watson at the announcement of Neal's new dive operation at the Bimini Big Game Club." src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/guyneal3.jpg?w=226" alt="" width="226" height="300" /></a>
“Diving is my window to exploring a vast underwater world, rich with beauty, mystery and not without some danger” commented Guy Harvey. “Spending much of my life diving, I can think of no better person to ensure that my colleagues and friends and our Outpost guests will not only have a safe dive experience, but with Neal’s personality and knowledge of Bimini, one that will surely be filled with memories of a lifetime.”
Dive Bimini will open mid-October upon arrival of its 60-foot dive boat. Notes Mark Ellert, President of Guy Harvey Outpost, “two-decks, a glass bottom and certified for 100 passengers – nothing in Bimini will come close to offering the comfort and safety that Dive Bimini guests will enjoy, never mind the chance that Neal or Guy might be on board diving with you.” He adds, “Everything is new –the tanks, rental gear, even the Bauer compressor. We want our customer to have a top of class experience – that’s the Guy Harvey Outpost DNA.”
Neal Watson’s Dive Bimini, a Guy Harvey Outpost Dive Center is currently taking reservations and is expected to be operational in October of this year. In addition to equipment rentals and air fills, the center will offer instruction for <a title="PADI web site" href="http://www.padi.com/scuba/" target="_blank">PADI SCUBA certifications</a> as well as open water referrals and specialty classes.
The legendary Bimini Big Game Club officially re-opened this summer as a Guy Harvey Outpost Resort & Marina following completion of a $3,500,000 renovation that included all guest rooms, the new <a title="Bimini Big Game Club Bar & Grill" href="http://www.biggameclubbimini.com/bimini-bar-grill.htm" target="_blank">Bimini Big Game Bar & Grill</a>, and the <a title="The Outfitter " href="http://www.biggameclubbimini.com/the-outfitter-shop.htm" target="_blank">Outfitter Shop</a>, a retail experience featuring sportswear, fishing supplies and gifts.
