Walter White
World-Class Photographer of Newark Ohio

A few of the many reproductions of his photographs, these from an unidentifed newspaper Entitled "BEAUTY THROUGH A LENS," here is the introduction ... Newark Camera Pictorialist Attains International Fame LIKE THE EMERSONIAN CONCEPT OF THE MAN who builds the better mouse trap, Walter W. White's fame as a photographer has enabled him to establish himself as a world famed photographer of world famous people without venturing far from his chosen city of Newark. From his studio in the central Ohio city of 35,000 he has sent pictorial photographs to the renowned salons of the world. Back to him at his home have come the coveted Fellowship in the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain, the medal of the Photographic Institute of Brussels, the diploma of honor of the International Exhibition of Photography hung in Courtray, Belgium, and high honors from virtually every other important photo exhibit in the world. Originally from Kirkersville, White is still a small-town guy in many respects. He is proud of his achievement in photography but is in no sense "big-time" about it. He likes to take pictures, and he likes Newark and as long as he remains as good as he is he will be able to watch the world beat a path to his studio, looking for something better in the way of photographic mouse traps. DERELICT'S END Beauty and the sordid are reflected in this study. Inspired by the ugliness of  ???, it appears at times White composed this, the horrible end of a life of sin. "Pose." This study of George Hainesworth, Newark, was hung in Edinburgh, Scotland, as well as at Courtray, Belgium. SELF-COUNSEL (That's the title, but the caption was incomplete in the clipping from which it was copied.) TORSO Acclaimed in Europe and America this composition in form and light is one of White's outstanding concepts. It combines fine photography and expert negative manipulation. OLD MAN Directly opposite in feeling to "Derelict's End" is this calm and beautiful head of an "Old Man." To the layman is picture is restful: to the photographer it is inspiring in its technical excellence. Marilyn Rowell, daughter of Glen Rowell, member of the radio team of Gene and Glen. Hung and exhibited under her own name, the above portrait of the late Jean Harlow is believed by Mr. White to be the only picture of the late star in a foreign gallery. Studies of people of repute are difficult to have accepted, he says.
