From the early 1980s until his death in 1992, Bob Walker took photos that captured the beauty of the East Bay’s wildlands, and his advocacy marshaled public support for protecting those landscapes, leading to the purchase of more than 30,000 acres for public open space. In fall 2007, a new book of Walker’s work gave us the opportunity to revisit the luminous landscape photography of this local conservation hero.
