Walt Gehring and Pastor, 1974. These two black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images show one man in glasses and a suit and tie posing for portrait-style photos, and two different men in suits and ties standing next to each other and looking down at a pamphlet held by one of the men. Image 43 shows a man in glasses wearing a suit and tie and posing for a portrait-style photo. His head and body are oriented toward the right-hand side of the image frame, and he appears to be speaking. Image 44 is very similar to the previous image, but the man is not speaking. He is smiling. Image 1 shows the man with his head and body oriented toward the left-hand side of the image frame. He again appears to be speaking. Image 2 is very similar to the previous image, but here the man is smiling and has tilted his head forward very slightly. Image 3 shows an older man wearing a pinstriped suit and a striped tie standing next to a man (Walt Gehring) with a mustache wearing a suit and a patterned tie. The man with the mustache is holding up a pamphlet and both men are looking at the pamphlet. There is a wall immediately behind the men, and the wall ends very near to the right-hand edge of the image. A very thin strip of an adjoining room is visible in this thin strip. Image 4 is very similar to the previous image, but the photographer has moved to their left and slightly closer to the two men. Image 5 is very similar to the previous image, but the photographer has again moved closer to the two men. Image 6 is very similar to the previous image, but here the photographer has moved several steps backward away from the two men. Image 7 is similar to the previous images, but here the photographer is looking down on the two men from a raised perspective.
It is unclear whether the "pastor" referred to in the title of this sleeve refers to the older man in the photo with Walt Gehring or the man posing individually.Made/Created
