This is also no ordinary small darkroom... they produce large format works. A lot of Clyde's work is on display here, and can be purchased in a variety of sizes, with or without frames. All black and white photography, you can see his large format film work and his more recent digital photography. Books and calendars are also available. Sometimes you can catch Clyde here to sign works you purchase. A room of the gallery is dedicated to his wife Niki's hand-painted photography, featuring colorful pastels. I'm a film photographer myself, and just seeing the large format equipment and banquet-table sized developing tray line was an inspiration.

Parking lot was a bit small, but no one was there when we got there, but it was full when we left! Possibly parking on the street. Aside from all these nice things, the pictures were amazing! We have seen lots of Clyde Butcher pictures, but have never seen the Largest prints we saw here! Very cool. Definitely will visit again!

One of the most fun parts about the store is all the fossils and sharks teeth that they have, and it's fun for kids.

Top notch service - helping me select frames. Woman I worked with had a great eye and gave me several suggestions. Craftsmanship was impeccable. Second visit was entirely different. Stopped by two separate times to try and have someone help me select a frame. Each time, employees were busy and unable to help. I felt a bit pushed off with no suggestion of when might be a better time to come back and ultimately picked frames on my own - not what I expect from a custom frame shop. Work was still great just not a wonderful second experience.

Service was very good. The selection was even better. However, this is not a mall to find vintage furniture & light fixtures, although that could change at any time-- depends upon the vendors who are renting space. The mall was clean & very well organized. I would have loved to see more mid-century finds, but I also know items from the 50's thru the 70's sell almost the moment they are tagged for sale. We'll definitely return. This mall was highly recommended by two respected owners of a Sarasota antique store we frequent. It's worth stopping in again & again!
