Walter Colley
Walter started working at an early age in his family’s photo retail store in Pennsylvania. In the past 25 years, he has captured a large variety of subjects. Truly enjoying the process and the people he works with, makes one wonder what he would be doing if his “Papa” had handed him a Tonka truck instead of a Kodak camera. Walter says, “It’s really very simple… I love to take pictures… I always have.”
