Walt O'Brien • Diverse Cultures

“Diverse Cultures” This group of 10 images represents my experience with two cultures while growing up in Amarillo Texas. All of these images were taken by me as a young teenager starting about 1960 through about 1963. I started doing darkroom printing in about 1957. All of the film was processed by me. All of these were printed recently, either on silver gelatin papers or by scanning and printing with archival pigments. I preferred to use silver gelatin printing for these where possible. Most needed to be printed digitally due to aging and defects. They are part of a book I created recently entitled “Early Photography by Walt O’Brien”. It is available for preview on Blurb.
