RIP Irving Penn

The most celebrated fashion photographer of the 20th century has passed. Irving Penn, the master photographer whose fashion images in Vogue magazine for more than six decades bridged the gap between commercial photography and fine art, died Wednesday morning at his home in New York City. He was 92.
