Minor White July 9, 1908 – June 24, 1976
born in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
He earned a degree in botany with a minor in English from the University of Minnesota
in 1933. His first creative efforts were in poetry, as he took five
years thereafter to complete a sequence of 100 sonnets while working as a
waiter and bartender at the University Club. In 1938, White moved to Portland, Oregon. There he began his career in photography, first joining the Oregon Camera Club, then taking on assignments from the Works Progress Administration and exhibiting at the Portland Art Museum.
