So goodbye Irving Penn, I'll miss you.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hadn't consciously viewed his pictures before, but after researching a bit I see that they were quote beautiful. How sad to lose an artist in this world where we need them desperately. Good luck with your work- maybe you'll be the next Penn.
