It was an honor to be selected to create images for the Urban League’s State Of Black Oregon report, released in July 2009. They used my images on the cover of the report, as well as in the body of the report. A launch ceremony will be held on July 27 at 10:00am outside of the World Trade Center.

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”.
