Glamour Photography Auction (3/26-3/27)


If you got a few hundred or thousand dollars lying around, check out the Epstein and Schwimer Glamour Photography Auction over in Calabasas on March 26th & 27th. They've posted their collection online and you can get a chance to look through what is offered, I noticed a few were estimated just under $400 (one of my favorites - Alice White) while others $3,000. I suppose looking through their images online is my version of window shopping.

Oh, hey, looking at the promo photo, I noticed at the bottom : Photo by Eric Schwabel, a local photographer I met at the The Distillery, sort of like an artist colony over in Venice last year.
