Oh, this is worth a whole series of blog posts. Maybe I could even write a book.
One of my images from my Walter Chappell series of images has been included in the upcoming Lightbox Portland Show, in Astoria, Oregon. Printing by Pushdot Studio, framing by Luke’s Frame Shop.
Walter, I so love you.
I got the call out of the blue one day. Aryan Chappell knew that I had taken photos of his late father, Walter Chappell, on two occasions in the 1990s. Aryan had just written an article about his father for Black and White Magazine and requested that I include a portrait to accompany the article.
The article is a lovely account of a wonderful photographer, painter and brilliantly creative human being. Thank you, Aryan, for giving us a view into your father’s remarkable life.
We miss you, Walter.
(See more images of Walter, and how I came to meet him, on my website, 2nd page under “Projects”.)
