"A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it.  It is, in a word, effective."
-Irving Penn (1917-2009)

A man has died today.  But not only a man.  An entire era of an art.  The art of photography.  I mourn his death.  I rejoice in his offerings.  Can we carry on his gift?
