IRVING PENN, 1917–2009

My attempt to put together a synopsis of this photography legend's life and work seems to not do him justice. Penn died yesterday...and today, the world seems a bit quieter.

Instead, I'll let his work speak for itself. My favorite is the girl (Mary Jane Russell) at the bottom right. 

It's so beautiful it hurts.

See more of his work here.
And if you're really itching for a bio, read one here.
