Great black and white photographers Part 2



Clarence John Laughlin

He lived from 1905 to January 2nd, 1985. He was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He dropped out of high school his freshman year, but later became a much more educated man through reading. He taught himself how to use a camera, and started out working for the government. After he realized that he didn't like the government constrains, he quit and worked on his own projects. He has developed over 17,000 negatives and he had a library of over 30,000 volumes. LSU owns this library now.
