Another Legend Lost......


Irving Penn has passed at age 92. Check out the WaPo article here.

If you are a fan of portraiture, then you should be a fan of his work. He was brilliant. Apparently grumpy as all get out, but brilliant none the less. He is in the conversation with Avedon, Arnold Newman, Helmut Newton and others as one of the finest portrait photographers ever.

Happy trails Irving. Thanks for the images you left us.
