== Early life ==
Michael O'Brien was born on June 27, 1950 in Memphis, Tennessee.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Famous Photographers )〕 In high school, he set up a darkroom in his grandmother's basement with his friend Chris Bell and started photographing his close friends Alex Chilton, Andy Hummel, Jody Stephens and Bell in a band called Big Star. O'Brien has stated that because he "lacked the musical talent" to join the band, he picked up a camera instead.
O'Brien graduated from Memphis University School in 1968, after which he attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee. At college, he pursued a degree in Philosophy and became a photographer for the student paper, the ''Daily Beacon'', earning four dollars for each published picture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Next UHV/ABR speaker captures character through his camera )〕 That money, together with occasional freelance jobs, helped O'Brien put himself through school. A turning point came when O'Brien met Jack Corn, a staff photographer for the ''Nashville Tennessean'', and saw his documentary photography series on the coal mining community in Appalachia.〔 By the time he graduated as a Philosophy major in 1972, O'Brien had amassed a substantial portfolio of black-and-white photographs.〔
O'Brien is married to Elizabeth Owen O'Brien, former reporter with ''LIFE'' magazine.〔Ramon Rentera, "Here's Looking at You, Texas." ''The El Paso Times" (Dec 7, 2003).〕
