Many thanks to Claire Sykes for the lovely article she wrote about my philosophy and work in this month’s Photographer’s Forum magazine.
It is a humbling honor to read what she has written, and also the various quotes by people (Jim Friedman, Shelby Lee Adams and Lewis Wall) who have greatly inspired me over the years.
I was interviewed by Portland icon Guy Swanson in a post from his blog. He focused on my cabin out in Spray, Oregon and all of the wonderful classes we are offering out there.
Pack up your creativity, leave your worries behind and join us for a total immersion class in stunning scenery!
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”.)
