Just watched 'Art Nation' on ABC1 and learned of Bruno Benini, a famous and iconic Australian fashion photographer that I've never heard of before. Having a great love for photography, this was most interesting to watch. I have great respect and love for photographers in the past century. Not that photographers before or now are not good, but something about that era I just adore. Work of that time really inspire me and I love how the work of photographers; such as Benini, really reflect their background in their work.

There was another interesting segment that talked about street photography and blogging.
But I must say, I would never have the courage to walk up to some random person asking if I can photograph them ... It would be far too awkward. Unless of course I know the person. xP
