Bob Walker (1952-1992), a self-taught photographer and environmental activist, photographed San Francisco’s East Bay landscapes between 1982 and 1992. His images, together with his advocacy, helped contribute to the designation of new parklands, now permanently protected from development. Some photos document open space that has been lost forever to urban and suburban sprawl. This book includes more than 80 of the best images of the 40,000 Walker donated to the Oakland Museum of California. The photographs, combined with descriptions of his activism, create a revealing portrait of a remarkable region—what has been saved and what can easily be lost. This full-color book is published in collaboration with the East Bay Regional Parks District, which encompasses 65 parks in 97,000 acres of Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

Why do particular images (Migrant Mother, the Times Square Kiss, Mary Ann Vecchio at Kent State, Flag Raising at Ground Zero) become iconic? Hariman and Lucaites analyze how a confluence of availability (most of these photos had quick, huge distribution backed by mass media, and remained available through licensing), their aesthetic value and ability to capture the mood and context of the event made them powerful opinion shapers. Where it becomes really interesting is how those images can then be parodied, referenced, hijacked and altered to suit agendas which may or may not have much to do with the original narrative, and how the subjects of the photograph and the photographers themselves deal with being linked to causes far from the situation in which they first became noteworthy.
