Irving Penn, known for his style of stark simplicity that revolutionized fashion and portrait photography, died today at his home.  He was 92.  It was just a week or so ago that I saw my first Irving Penn prints in a private collection.  Paul Mobley had a great story about buying a Penn photo (the last one below) in lieu of a couch while being a broke CCS grad in NYC.  When he met Penn later and told him about it, he asked, "Where do you think that couch is now?"

RIP Irving Penn.

I just completed the website for Dirkhund Training, and I really love the way it turned out!  All the photography is by me as well, and you might notice that there are a few photos of my dog in there : )  Erin specializes in obedience, behavioral and aggression training in dogs.  If you have a wild dog in your life and are looking for training, give her a call.  Check out the site in full at: www.dirkhundtraining.com.
