Borges and Others at First Church by Sam Walker

The photographs feature Borges in five locations on campus: The Oberlin Inn, First Church at Oberlin, the college’s Tappan Square, La Casa Hispanica and the Faculty Lounge in Rice Hall. The informal photographs taken at La Casa Hispanica and the Faculty Lounge by Esmeralda Martinez-Tapia are in color; the rest are in black and white. Sam Walker made the negatives, contact sheets and prints of the public discussion event at First Church at Oberlin. A walk across Tappan Square to First Church was captured by Edsel Little, a college photographer. John Harvith photographed Borges at the Oberlin Inn, and printed cropped close-ups.
