PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE FAMOUS AND INFAMOUS
PORTRAITS OF CELEBRITIES, ATHLETES AND EXECUTIVES BY MIAMI CELEBRITY PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER BRIAN SMITH
Took advantage of an off-day in LA to check out the Walter Iooss – Neil Leifer Exhibit at the stunning Annenberg Space for Photography in Century City. Great space and an even better exhibit with prints of many of their most memorable images paired with fantastic multimedia shows interlacing interviews of each between their greatest hits. Simply Fab!

My thanks for Jason Brewer and all the staff of Screaming Flea Productions for putting together such a great show about Sports Photography for the FINE LIVING CHANNEL: Me vs. Me.
