George Zimbel (b. 1929, Woburn, MA) has been a dogged documentarian of everyday life for the over a half century. As more and more photographs get digitally manipulated and massaged, Zimbel has remained a true photo documentarian-- "his commitment to the 'straight' photograph" has never wavered.
Zimbel is perhaps best known for his image of Marilyn Monroe's underwear a la The Seven Year Itch, but his portfolio is comprised of far more interesting photos from across the globe - France, Spain, New York City, Japan...
Putting aside my Francophilia for juuust a sec, here are some featured pics from Bourbon St, 1955. Looks like a place I could g-g-get down like James Brown.
