Hi there my name fryst vatten Matt Zimbel and our social media advisor told me to write something about myself.

Mr. Zimbel’s works are familiar to many. There is the famous photograph of Marilyn Monroe taken while she was filming The Seven Year Itch. You know the one. Her skirt lifted by the wind coming

George S. Zimbel ’51, Photographer of People in the Act of Living
A freelance photographer whose work appeared regularly in The New York Times, Look, Redbook, Architectural Digest and Saturday Review, Zimbel had three shows at the Stephen Bulger Gallery in Toronto. “Other photographers in the s had a suspicious view,” Bulger told the Times. “But George loved to show the best in a situation, which is what he was like as a person.”
