This thread largely (but not exclusively) focuses on Park's fashion photography, but the man's documentary photography is incredible. Quite possibly the best American photographer of the 20th century. Here's "Untitled, Alabama, 1956", from a series of photos for LIFE: high.org/exhibition/g...

A color photograph of three young boys standing in front of a chicken wire fence in the yard of a white wooden house, somewhat grubby. Two are Black, one is white and quite blond; the Black boys are wearing matching white shirts and dark shorts. The white boy is shirtless and wearing jeans, his underwear peeking out. The two Black boys are playing with cap pistols, one pointing his off-camera to the side, the other pointing it at the photographer. The white boy is holding onto the fense and looking at the photographer, grinning.

Thomas Edison invented the phonograph and wrote the date – November 29, 1877 – in the upper right-hand corner of the piece of paper on which he had drawn the sketch of his design for a new invention.
