This by Irving Penn

In that Irving Penn image search I came across this photo. It’s one I cut out of a photography magazine back in the 70’s and has been on continuous display ever since in a little black frame. Stunning visual impact in high contrast.

Not Irving Penn

….whose body of work included some of the most famous and notable of people but also the mundane details of the everyday like cigarette butts.

Nor, Rorschach and his famed ink blot psychological tests.

No, these are a few coffee, hot chocolate and latte spills.

A completely unrelated note – It’s been raining steadily since yesterday afternoon and I’M NOT COMPLAINING because ordinarily at this time of year it would mean shovelling snow… and I’m so not into that. So, rain away and stay mild…. bring it on, baby.
