At the time of his death from cancer, he was a Distinguished Professor of Photography and Fine Arts at the [[California College of the Arts]]. He published "a dense series of pictures of middle-class homes invaded by the [[porn industry ]]" called The Valley in 2004, but he is best known for his 1977 collection of [[found photo]]s called "Evidence," which the ''[[New York Times]]'' characterized as "a watershed in the history of art photography." | ||

Guggenheim Fellowships are grants that have been awarded annually since 1925 by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation to those "who have demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts." Each year, the foundation makes several hundred awards in each of two separate competitions:
- one open to citizens and permanent residents of the United States and Canada.
- the other to citizens and permanent residents of Latin America and the Caribbean.
The performing arts are excluded, although composers, film directors, and choreographers are eligible. The fellowships are not open to students, only to "advanced professionals in mid-career" such as published authors. The fellows may spend the money as they see fit, as the purpose is to give fellows "blocks of time in which they can work with as much creative freedom as possible", but they should also be "substantially free of their regular duties". Applicants are required to submit references as well as a CV and portfolio.
