Apparently he and Avedon often vied for pages, position and subject matter there. But yeah, Penn's food [and still life] stuff is wonderfully breakthrough. You might also know his ethnographic stuff, in which he photographed everything from New Guinea mud men to San Francisco hippies, all inside an anonymous gray canvas studio he carried with him. He did an amazing book from the series, Worlds in a Small Room.Terry at Blue Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504693954312787975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159363926080898782.post-33514491176752236462009-06-18T22:09:50.136-04:002009-06-18T22:09:50.136-04:00Townhouse - Isn't he phenomenal?

I just yearn to see more of his work.<br /><br />Gigi - We clearly are on the same wavelength, so wonderful to meet a kindred spirit!<br /><br />Terry B - You always make me feel so appreciated! I do love Irving Penn, although pathetically I am most familiar with the food photography that he does for Jeffrey Steingarten for his Vogue stories. I'm fairly sure I'm missing out on a whole lot by limiting myself so. I can't believe he's still working!<br /><br />Robin - Sadly, I have no clue...ICP's website maybe? I'm sure google will give you some pointers. You have got to check out the shot of Lauren Hutton's left boob by the way, it is totally up your alley.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085413093222573852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159363926080898782.post-69237546003958102112009-06-18T21:38:32.610-04:002009-06-18T21:38:32.610-04:00Those are fantastic photographs, any idea where I ...Those are fantastic photographs, any idea where I might get a print?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905082866922060226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159363926080898782.post-76736413244268601972009-06-18T17:48:33.685-04:002009-06-18T17:48:33.685-04:00As someone utterly captivated by great photography...As someone utterly captivated by great photography--and by women--I have to tell you, Laura, this is a wonderful post. Avedon was an amazing photographer. Another is Irving Penn, who just turned 92 and is still working, as far as I know. And I share your mother's penchant for seeking out vicarious New York moments. As wonderful as Chicago is, I have various NYC blogs and sites I visit almost daily for my New York fix. Yours is one of them.Terry at Blue Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504693954312787975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159363926080898782.post-43275009897143497452009-06-18T00:44:51.498-04:002009-06-18T00:44:51.498-04:00Yes, I so agree with you about Avedon!
