Todd Walker. America's Most Astute Color Photographer
Todd Walker lived a hermetic exist somewhere in the deserts of the great American Southwest.Even more impressive than Walker's ability to tell one color from another and his deep love of "funny" hard to work with colors was his ability to read an instruction manuel and know what the heck the writer was trying to say.And then improve the process. Like the time he reinvented dye transfer when Kodak dropped out.Not to mention gum, kallitype, collotype etc. His letter press and offset books, hand bound, are legendary among the cognscenti of the artist's book world.Todd passed on to the great darkroom in sky in September of 1998. Harold Jones and the Art Dept of the U of Arizonia, Tucson. established a fund in his name.
