Requiem for Irving Penn








Sigh, the Prince of Palladium is on to other things. I am so deeply moved by his images, even more than the portraits, the cigarette butts which he sanctifies with an alchemy of lens, emulsion and precious metal, teaching, as Kvond has, that there is no negative, saying, do not be afraid. Is there any more radical faith or more transcendent immanence?
