To celebrate this new edition, Slonem talks to PEOPLE about his passion and shares his studio with BIRDS photos.

When I was a child in Hawaii, my enthusiasm for birds began - I fell in love with them. Some people like dogs, but I am a bird - birds and orchids. As an elementary school student, I will sit on a pouch with a parakeet.

I will decide the color, shape and influence of fashion, how they affect the world in clothing, art and religious practices, using feathers in rituals, and deciding status and position I am especially fascinated. Toucans and hornbills are one of my favorite birds. They are amazing colors and the amazing shapes of shadows are almost aliens - they can not believe it. Very amazing

This is not a shelter, it is my personal habitat. These are my family. Birds feel pressure, I am not prepared for it, so aviaries are not open to the public.

As my bird gathers, I need more space. I kept birds since I was a child, but when I moved to New York and started drawing them, I really got more birds. I've been drawing birds since the 1970s, and I have been in the aviary for 30 years. I have a 40 feet cage (with dividers) in the first attic in New York. In my current studio, I have a big personal cage right now.

Hunt Slonem works in the colorful jungle paradise he made in downtown Brooklyn, New York.

Artists and animal enthusiasts will combine his passion and create an art studio of 30,000 square feet to make a residence of exotic birds.

Romare Bearden's first studio - 125th Avenue in Harlem - takes $ 8 just above the Jacole Lawrence workspace and Jacob Lawrence is a famous painter of the Harlem Renaissance. This is one of the fortunate turning points to help Belden become a versatile artist deeply involved in the black community. The New York Times called him "the most important collaborator in the country", but he also painted, wrote jazz music, and was a dedicated community leader.

Leiter was asked to start my detailed research on the history of Magnum. And it was started by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson and some others. Cartier Bresson knew that he was learning to draw a picture when he started taking pictures and was one of the first people to apply the classics of street photography to street photography. So the photo tour is really part of rediscovering me. What I like to take pictures is that I have to go to daily life. For example, I will not pay special attention to people who are crazy as usual. But the pictures force to see the strange things you have never seen before. So far, this is my job: finding strange things in the noise

After spending the night at the house that took an artistic picture, Thomas took pictures with Veruschka at his studio. I am shooting. He got bored and left him troubling models and producers. When he left the studio, the two ambitious models of the girls (Birkin and Hills) asked him to talk, but the photographer drove to see the antique store. Then Thomas had a lunch with his agent Ron (Peter Bowers) and noticed a person watching his car following him. Returning to his studio, a woman from the park arrived and desperately asked for a film. They had a conversation and cheating, but deliberately delivered her another film roll. Next she wrote the wrong telephone number and handed it to him.
