Minor
White was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 1908 July 9. He was an amazing
American photographer. He went to the University of Minnesota and later became
a photography teacher at the California School of Fine Arts. White took
thousands of black and white pictures in his years. His was an only child and
his grandfather was a photographer, so he was around cameras and gardens all
his life. He was a closeted gay man for almost of his life because he didn’t
want to loose teaching jobs for liking the same sex. He was the co-producer and
editor of the photography magazine Aperture. He really had a deep passion for
taking pictures, and not only that but connecting with how people viewed
photographs because he believed each person looked at a picture and understand
and felt something genuine and different.
