Six Of One, A Half Dozen Of The Other

On Saturday, we went to see the Richard Avedon: Portraits of Power at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. It was interesting photography (slight warning to parents: not all photos rated-G!).
Richard Avedon (1923–2004), America’s pre-eminent portraitist and fashion photographer, photographed the faces of politics throughout his career. As the country enters the next presidential election season, the Corcoran will bring together Avedon’s political portraits for the first time. Juxtaposing images of elite government, media, and labor officials with counter-cultural activists and ordinary citizens caught up in national debates, this exhibition will explore a five-decade taxonomy of politics and power by one of our best-known artists.

And you thought this post was going to focus on Aaron Rodgers' shoulder injury, Green Bay's loss, Brett Favre's record-breaking six touchdown and Jets' win. Alas, I know you're disappointed.

Did I mention Favre had six touchdowns?
