...There is a swaggering style, a macho flair to O'Hare's ace controllers. In near darkness, they hunch over their radarscopes like teen-age boys playing electronic games. Their faces glow in the greenish-yellow light, as each sweep of the radar reveals a constantly changing configuration of planes. They have developed their own special mystique. They chain smoke and drink countless cups of coffee while placating their upset stomachs with chalky Maalox tablets from the big glass candy jars that are standard in every control room...

These photographs, ranging from impressionism to clear abstraction, are the work of Joel Walker, a gifted amateur cameraman, who took them for his amusement and then was pleased enough with the results to hang them on the walls of his Toronto office as decoration...

This is especially surprising considering that the costume designers in Close Encounters only had to design one other-wordly creature. Besides not wearing space suits--a definite faux pas--the aliens in this film are greenish, long-necked, pot-bellied, leathery-skinned, and have gaping mouths, which makes the creatures look boringly akin to Martians...
