Avedon at The International Center of Photography

I went to the International Center of Photography yesterday for the first time. It was really a site! It was quite busy for a Sunday afternoon. I was sort of surprised to see that many people there to be honest. The exhibit is for Richard Avedon's work from 1944-2000. My first thoughts was that have I had seen this at the same time or on the same day as Model as a Muse at the Met it would've been divine. The 2 go hand and hand. Some of the photographs are the same and a lot of the actual clothes photographed at the exhibit are actually at The Met. So to have seen both sides of it was really great. When you walk into the ICP there is an admissions desk to and the gift shop. Then you walk in and everything goes by decades. So you have the 40's, 50's, 60's etc. When you make your way downstairs there is a cute little cafe where you can get coffee and little munchies whatnots.

Looking at the photographs you really miss the days of glamour and it makes you want to have cigarettes and drink brandy. Everything was just so grand and divine. When ladies had manners and wore crazy hats. I loved it!

Overall: Its a great way to see a bit of history and I really enjoyed myself. Tell everyone to go if the mention Model as a Muse or want to go somewhere different besides a museum.
