Giveaway!

I am pleased to be giving away a gorgeous hardcover book entitled Women. It chronicles the work of Lillian Bassman, a beloved fashion photographer. Most of the images were taken in New York during the '50s and '60s. Some of the photographs have never before been published, and others have not been seen since they first appeared on the pages of Harper's Bazaar. 




It's the perfect coffee table book for the lover of fashion, art and photography. To enter, please leave a comment on this post. One comment per person, please. Open to readers in the US and Canada. You have until next Monday, November 23rd at 11:00 PM Central. A winner will be chosen randomly and announced on the 24th. Good luck!

    I have been a photographer for about two years now & my biggest inspiration is Lillian Bassman. From the moment I saw her work, I fell in love & she inspired me do photography. Her work literally takes my breath away!! This book would mean so much to me & would be brilliant in my photography office. Thank you for the opportunity!
