Amazing imagery by the famous photographer, Richard Avedon.

Definitely worth looking through the entire collection here!

“In Memory of the Late Mr. and Mrs. Comfort” is a photographic fable shot in 1995 for The New Yorker by uber photographic legend Richard Avedon.
Considering that one half of the couple is in bare bones mode, it’s really something, that after looking at a few photos, you start looking at the skeleton as an almost normal half of the couple. At times creepily touching, at others bittersweet sarcastic, even if the subject matter repulses you, you can’t stop looking at it.
