A initially learned photography as a kid shooting black & white then developing the photos in a dark room, that was a magical time and sparked my interest in photography. As I got older I dabbled in digital photography but wasn't until my kids were born that i really started to get an active interest back in it all.

One of my favorite photographers, if not the favorite when I was growing up in the city of St. Louis and fell in love with black-and-white photography.Today I am 79 years old and mention of his name brings back memories of a young boy Turning pages of a photography magazine hoping to see some of his work.

Why the camera isn't focused just on the slide show is extremely frustrating. Penn's images are lost here.

I have never had the opportunity to see a real exhibition of him in live. But I would never forget the time that at the IVAM (the Museum where I work) we had quite a few photographs from a private deposit and I was able to cry in front of those moments captured in time. Amazing as only his photographs can be. Forever love for Irving Penn!

This was a wonderful exhibition (and I've seen may Penn shows over the years). Penn was truly a master.

Thanks for the fine lectures on Penn. I'll be off to see the exhibit tomorrow. The last big exhibit I saw of Penn's was the 2002 one "Earthly Bodies" at the Metropolitan Museum.
