Every pictures tells a story, and her fashion photography was one of my favorite things to look through. Mrs. Penn's career included many shoots for Vogue magazine!
David Bailey
I stumbled upon this photographer while I was looking up ideas for portrait pictures a few weeks ago. I love his work and how diverse his pictures are based on their content. Many of his portrait images have a very warm feel to them. On the other side his more artistic photos have a solid and colder feel.

Garry Winogrand
Gary Winogrand was a New York street photographer back in the 1950's through the 1980's. He was considered one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. Winogrand felt talking the pictures was more fulfilling than printing and editing them. He let other people get them read for books and exhibitions. After his sudden death, he has left proof sheets from his earlier years of photography that had been marked but never seen. He had around 250,000 images never developed, which then were all developed after his death.
W. Eugene Smith
W. Eugene Smith is a very inspirational photographer. I love all of the various light aspects and ambient light he uses for many of his images. One of his most famous works is ,The Walk to Paradise Garden, shot in 1947. The image is showing his own children walking around the forrest.

Diane Arbus
Diane Arbus was a New York City native born in 1923. She was a very talented photographer that started her career in fashion photography. Diane worked and learned a lot of her photography skills from her husband, Allan Arbus. Mr.Arbus was a famous actor back in the late 1950's. Diane then began to venture around The Big Apple, she became fascinated with the people she found. She wondered public parks, museums, and other various locations taking very raw quality images. In the mid 1960's is when Diane became famous for her many works. Two years after her divorce with Allan Arbus, Diane committed suicide in her New York City apartment July, 1971. Like many of Diane Arbus's admirers, I love the raw quality of her pictures. Taking pictures of people is one of my favorite subjects.

I ran across this photographer, Mario Testino, while looking through a Vogue Magazine of mine. He is a very famous photographer than has shot many Vogue Magazine covers as well as Vanity Fair. Mario has even worked with stars like Madonna and laid Princess Diana! I just thought it was pretty cool, and this picture I found on one of his biography websites is stunning!
The Awakening Sculpture
The Awakening Sculpture in Chesterfield, MO is one of my favorite pieces of art. It's a 70 foot statue of a giant man trying to free himself from the ground. One thing I love about this sculpture is the fact you can get as close as you want and see the detail of everything. You can touch it, and I personally have seen people climbing all over it all of the time. The statue consist of 5 different giant aluminum pieces, so its not just a whole giant man they buried in the ground. The Awakening in chesterfield is actually the recreation of the original one created in 2009. The original is in Washington D.C.
