Russell Walker was born raised at the family farm in Falmouth, Maine, and had attended schools in Falmouth and graduated from Falmouth High School and held several basic jobs thereafter until completing schooling in photography when in 1953, he began freelancing in portraiture and wedding coverage.
He is an avid outdoorsman since childhood and has participated in all aspects of outdoor activities and adventures (hiking, fishing, hunting, and photographing wild lands and their inhabitants, etc.). Throughout his life, he has explored vast areas of the northern Maine wild lands, starting during the years when nearly 35 percent of the state remained near roadless and uninhabited (mid to late 1940s).
Throughout his career, he has photographed in almost every city and town in Maine and traveled many of its wild land’s riches as well as canoeing and boating on numerous Maine pristine lakes, rivers, and ponds.
In succeeding years, he had participated in outdoor exploratory float plane trips to Alaska and Northwestern Canada, as well as Northernmost Quebec and Labrador for over a period of thirty years; tented (several solo stays) in the Torngat Mountain area of Labrador on photo excursions, capturing striking views of the topography and its inhabitants (bear, caribou, wolves, foxes, etc.) while cataloguing written descriptions of daily events in story and poetic form.
He had produced brochure work for outfitters, which had gained several first place awards in international competition, using his images and writings. Other photos and writings of places as far away as Southwest Africa have been recorded and filed in this repertoire of exciting events. He is still actively participating and writing life’s adventures and his family and their life’s happenings in general.
There is no fiction involved in his work! Plans for a series of books featuring this and other editions of his experiences are now in progress.voir moins
