Born and raised in Los Angeles, Harry Gamboa Jr. (born 1951) is an essayist, photographer, director, and performance artist internationally recognized for the combination of activism and social critique that informs his work.

Unlike most Angelenos however, Gamboa prefers to walk or use public transit to get around, and he always has a camera in hand.
