Are they like photographic madelleines? I agree that the fashion work is the most modern - but that Marilyn, all pensive pause.

Nevertheless, to my consternation, I've been to ICP five times this season (a personal record). Each time I am uplifted by his joie de vivre.vernininohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743454074504116461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57198975284327285.post-72482491515266350512009-09-03T01:04:44.826-04:002009-09-03T01:04:44.826-04:00I remeber being profoundly moved by his photograph...I remeber being profoundly moved by his photography in an exhibition I was fortunate enough to see in the National Gallery!retouching serviceshttp://photorestorationretouching.com/noreply@blogger.com
