Episode 71 Miron Zownir

Miron Zownir  began taking pictures during the heyday of punk in West Berlin and London. Later Miron moved to the United States, where he captured the hidden subcultures of places like New York.  In 1995 Miron went to Moscow, to document the homeless crisis in the city, a tragedy he felt could not be ignored.  His often heartbreaking and dark images have been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. His title “the Poet of Radical Photography” bestowed upon him by writer Terry Southern is apt even today.
