        Both the Penn and Lisa photos as well as the Avedon and Suzy photos (but more so the former) shaped my young aesthetic so much and were my introduction to photography…Part of me still wants to be those women…they are more glamorous to me than any movie star…

    The respect Penn gives to that unequaled profile is magnificent. His portraits of Lisa are dark and radiant; with shadows as rich as chocolate.
