Pete Armstrong Photography Lecture Series—Artist Talk on David Horback: Where the Hell Is Wichita?

Photographer David Hornback answered the question his title poses for people all over the world. Hornback has showcased his black-and-white photography of Wichita throughout galleries and museums in the US, Germany, and Spain. Now Hornback—a Wichita native—is bringing those photos home, and WAM is delighted to tell this unique local story.

About the Pete Armstrong Photography Lecture Series:

Edward “Pete” Armstrong (1921-2009) was a respected business and civic leader and talented photographer. A photographic officer during World War II, he pursued his passion for photography throughout his life. After military service, he joined McCormick Armstrong Co. in Wichita and ultimately rose to become chairman of the successful family company. His wife, Mickey Armstrong, and family honor Pete and his lifelong love of photography through endowed support for ongoing talks on photography topics at the Wichita Art Museum.
