2012 James returns to NYC to take 1st assistant position at Leutwyler Studio
This is a shot from my former life as an assistant in NYC. I’m going back to the big apple at the behest of photographer, Henry Leutwyler who has offered me first assistant position. Wow, what an opportunity. It will be a huge adjustment after having been herding goats in Maine for 2 years and shooting (however infrequently) on my own. I’m excited to get back in the fast-lane with one of the industry’s most talented heavy hitters while at the same time apprehensive at what this means for my young family. Thankfully, Mr s Leutwyler eems also sensitive to the topic. Let the future unfold. I’m facing the challenge with sober optimism and gratitude.

These are the images now showing at the Merrill Memorial Library until December 9th.

James is pleased to be making images for Maine publications—working locally jives with his developing sense of sustainability. Walker’s most recent exhibition, called “About Face,” debuted at the Merrill Memorial Library in Yarmouth in November 2011.
Faces of Maine
My work with Maine Magazine has been an inspiration for a show. I’ve been derelict in keeping my blog updated with current work and information. My appologies.
I’m currently the master of Maine Magazine’s “Faces Maine” facebook campaign. Do me a favor visit facesmaine and like it. I’ll get brownie points. I’ve also created a fan page for my work. I had to. I didn’t want to. I’m trying to keep my facebook exposure to a minimum.
About Face
In connection with the work I’ve been doing for Maine Magazine called “Faces Maine” - a fan page on facebook. I’m producing a fine art show of black and white prints. It goes up November 6th at the Merrill Memorial Library in Yarmouth, Maine.
New Horizons
Some new opportunities have been coming my way recently. I’ve been working with a magazine that I’ve wanted to contact for sometime. Maine Magazine and Maine Home and Design assigned me to the Tug Narragansett during Portland’s MS Harborfest on August 21st. From there I was invited by Hartley Marine Services to accompany the Narragansett crew on a run from Rockland to Boston. We left just after Hurricane Irene sent flooding and destruction up the Eastern coast. Thankfully, we sailed very fair seas.
