Fonville Winans. Mexican laborer who moved to Louisiana in the 30's and began a career photoraphy. I dig it. Nothing crazy or anything just pictures of people in everyday life in Louisiana. I think the oysterman is his most famous. Here's a couple

I bought the Grand Isle Bus one for a friend and I have the Cane Worker one. The guy actually sold it to me for cheaper than the list price on the site. Got it for 20 bucks plus shipping.

This is one of my favorite ongoing threads here on Obner.

I'd also like to introduce a photographer, Alec Soth, whose work has been getting alot of attention over the last two years (his latest show is Niagara, which is now on view in New York).
