Glow and Fade

Great photographs are one that shake you, that make you quake. They stun you, make you smile, fill you with warmth. In short, great photographs make you empathetic and hungary for more. 

I apologize for my absence; I was away and then was lazy. While I was away, I saw a Richard Avedon exhibit and was so shook by the experience, I had to share it with all. 

Richard Avedon was a photographer, primarily from the 105-'s to the 1980's, who took really, really good photographs. His work has been featured in hundreds of magazines, and since his death in 2002, hundreds of museums and art galleries. 

Perhaps best well known, his infamous photograph of Marilyn Monroe has captured the most true, the most heart breaking, the most fragile and lonely part of the most giddy girl in Hollywood. 

Good photographers are a dime a dozen. Just point and shoot. Even I have captured some good ones, and I am an idiot with technology. Great photographers, on the other hand, are rare and special. 

yours,
