Richard Avedon

Carmen, Coat 1957
Twiggy, Hair 1968

This man was a remarkable portrait photographer. Rather than taking the normal stiff portrait, he put life into it. I noticed his photographs would be in a show spanning his whole career at the San Fransisco Museum of Modern Art all the way into November. I am sad to live so far away. Here is his web site if you want to check him out. I also have posted the website for the museum.
