Just back from it. If you have not yet been, do go. I love Penns's work and it is not often you get the chance to seee so many of his great photos together in one place - even in print let alone seeing the original prints. Amazing seeing some of the prints from 1947 lookings as fresh and crisp as anything.

I went around much of the exhibition with a huge smile on my face, just because his work is so exceptional, so simple yet so revealing. A great inspitarion.

Oh, and I also left thinking I don't need to buy a roll of colour film again (although I will)
