What I remember...

I was from east of the Mississippi

south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

He was from out west.

Along with art

music

and books,

we both liked travelling.

California, London, Spain and Portugal ,

in these places,

we began to know each other.

Hardly a day goes by, when something doesn't remind me of Walt.

He had a way, of informing one's aesthetic.

These images are dedicated to Walter Earl Cotten,

friend

photographer

and fellow traveller...

Dear Walt, I miss you.

( 2 August 1946 - 12 February 2008 )
