Discovering George Walker

Discovering George Walker

In 2004, I heard a radio broadcast of music by the Pulitzer Prize composer George Walker. I contacted him and discovered that he lives in the same town. This launched a friendship that continues today. My photographic series is an exploration of the daily life of this musical genius who just celebrated his 95th birthday last June.
