Walter Beckham of Mobile has been working in photography since 1969, but his interest in photography as an art began in 1975, when he saw the work of photographers Ansel Adams, Minor White, and particularly Edward Weston. “I realized,” says Beckham, “that photography could come from within and be an expression of one’s feelings, that a photograph could be more than just a pretty picture.” Since then, Beckham’s photographs have appeared in fifteen group exhibitions; he has had three one-person shows; his work has appeared in numerous regional publications; and he has been awarded grants by the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the Mobile Arts Council.
