I am hyperventilating here. Just got the scans from the images I took with my 4X5 really old Speed Graphic camera while at the Burnside Skatepark. The camera works! The camera ROCKS!
Stay tuned for an upcoming workshop, using vintage cameras on the streets.
Film.
Love.

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.
