Museum of Fine Arts: Exhibit A

as in Avedon, Richard Avedon.  One of the most iconic fashion photographers of the 20th century, Avedon's career spanned from the 40s to the early 2000s.  He began his career at Harper's Bazaar and later moved onto Vogue where he produced most of its covers during the 70s and 80s.  His edgy photographs pushed fashion the world over, while at the same time documenting the ever evolving world of celebrity and glamor.  I was amazed the entire time I was touring the Avedon Fashion: 1944-2000 exhibit.  Here are some of my favorites, starting with the picture that towered over me, which literally made my jaw drop.

 I admire any woman willing to make that jump in heels.

 Love the eyeliner and the beehive...

 This lady means business; I wish casinos were still this glamorous.  Did I just come up with my next party theme?

I highly recommend checking out some of the other pictures highlighted at this exhibit at the Boston Phoenix's website, http://thephoenix.com/boston/arts/106507-photos-richard-avedon-at-the-mfa/ .
