Garnett URL: http://www.getty.edu/art/gettyguide/artMakerDetails?maker=1580 Description: Short introduction to the works of this photographer who "simultaneously piloted a plane while photographing out the window-traveling above every state and many parts of the world," was "the first aerial photographer to earn the prestigious Guggenheim Award," and who died in August 2006. Includes a small gallery of images that reveal how his "aerial photographs resemble abstract expressionist paintings or views through a microscope."  From the Getty Museum. Publisher: J.
