LifeWalter Rinder grew up Chicago, Illinois. His father was Jewish; his mother an English-Dutch Protestant. He attended Alhambra High School and Mt. San Antonio Junior College in Pomona. From 1955 to 1957 he was in the U.S. Army. In 1959 he began working his way across the U.S. living out of a suitcase, working at jobs which included a bellhop, soap salesman, theater set builder, ranch hand, and landscape artist's aide. "I want more out of life than most people", he wrote.[2] In 1965 he first exhibited his photography in San Francisco, and in 1968 opened a photographic gallery in that city. In 1969 he published his first book of photographic postcards, and left San Francisco to live in the small town of Laytonville, California where he opened a small gallery located in his home. In 1970 relocated to Portland, Oregon, and published a book of poems Love is an Attitude. The same year he opened a gallery, This Speck of Earth the city. In 1971 he published This Time Called Life: in 1973 it became a record album. Other books of poetry followed, including Spectrum of Love, The Humanness of You, and Follow Your Heart. In the late 1980's, Rinder returned to California to care for his aging mother, and eventually returned to Portland. In 1990 a selection of this works was published as The World I Used to Know. In 2001 Spectrum of Love Revisited was published.[3] As his books were his source of income, the decline in interest in Rinder's poetry resulted in financial woes, and the turning to selling collectibles for income. In a post on his Facebook page he wrote: "I have dug into dumpsters, trash cans, river boat ramps, rest stops… challenged by all weather….one nickel at a time."[4] Rinder now cares for a handicapped friend and states that his dream is to purchase a mobile home for them both. In September 2013 wrote: "It is he and I against the world….As of today, we are still searching for bottles and cans. Trust in your feelings as they are the voices of your soul."
