Sobre este artículo
Aperture, 1981. First Edition. Near Fine book in a Very Good dust jacket.
Shirley Carter Burden was born in New York City, a descendant of the famed millionaire Cornelius Vanderbilt; he became infatuated with photography, and after graduating from the Browning School in 1926, went to work for Pathe News, and subsequently would work in Hollywood with Merian C. Cooper. After the end of World War II, Burden opened a photography studio in Beverly Hills that specialized in still shots for advertising agencies and architectural firms. From there, he expanded into publishing photo essays concerning various topics including "God Is My Life", a photo essay about the Trappist monks at the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani in Tennessee, and "I Wonder Why", which depicted incidents in a young black girl's life, particularly her dealings with racial prejudice. His family established the Burden Professorship in Photography at Harvard University in 1999.
