Over the holidays my mom, aunt and I took a special trip to Detroit to see the
Richard Avedon, fashion photography, exhibit at the
DIA. I've seen many of Avedon's photos over the years, but I wasn't unaware of just how many iconic photographs and covers he's shot over the years. This is the last weekend of the exhibit, so if you are in the Detroit area, I highly recommend a trip. I cannot say enough good things about the collection.
After the exhibit I became enthralled with
this Avedon book, and on Wednesday it showed up at my door! There are so many beautiful photos, these are just a few of my favorites.
