Series
For his web presentation, Willard Traub curated a focused selection of his photographs, arranging them into nine thematic series. Each was designed to keep the presentation concise, while showing the progression of a variety of subjects.
This site is maintained as a fan and legacy archive — an independent project created by someone who worked with Willard and was deeply inspired by the person he was and his art. It is not affiliated with any estate or institution. My goal is simply to preserve and share the beauty of his work, and to ensure it continues to be seen and appreciated.
