Glenn Wins The Coffee!

Taryn Simon

White Tiger (Kenny) Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge Eureka Springs, Ark.: In the United States, all living white tigers are the result of selective inbreeding to artificially create the genetic conditions that lead to white fur, ice-blue eyes and a pink nose. Kenny was born in the care of a breeder in Bentonville, Ark., on Feb. 3, 1999. As a result of inbreeding, Kenny is mentally retarded.


Simon is a very important young contemporary photographer, her best known bodies of work are The Innocents and An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar.
