Great Black and White Photographers part 2

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.  “Photography is a language more universal than words.” – Minor White (http://www.johnpaulcaponigro.com/blog/12041/22-quotes-by-photographer-minor-white/#sthash.BDYEzMaT.dpuf). He was such an inspiration throughout his 67 years. He died in 1976 June 24th.
