92
I'm sorry Calvin Klein, I'm sorry Francisco Costa, but you'll have to move down the page today.
Irving Penn was born on 16 June 1917, which makes it his ninety-second birthday (as in 92nd, not 90 second) today. We over here are large Penn fans so it's a real treat to see his work on RRN.
Unfortunately, I can't post some of my favourite Penn portraits (Charles & Barbara Addams, Janet Flanner, Robert Casadesus & family) because I don't have reproductions of them, but maybe you'll see them one day and know what I mean. Anyway, it's no problem because there are so many other amazing Penn pictures, four of which are below.
What is your favourite Penn?

Irving Penn has always been an inspiration to me. 3 years back i read an interview Vogue had with him. He said he was still learning... if he is still learning, i have a long way to go. He keeps me humble.
its amazing how other people live life this long and still be amazing in their craft...
