Irving Penn passes away
He was a brilliant portrait photographer and had some great quotes:
"I myself have always stood in the awe of the camera. I recognize it for the instrument it is, part Stradivarius, part scalpel. - Irving Penn -"
A good photograph is one that communicate a fact, touches the heart, leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective. - Irving Penn -

One of the greats for sure. Really like his dark imagery along the lines of my tastes. R.I.P.
