I've been L E N S C R A T C H E D by the remarkable ALINE SMITHSON. L E N S C R A T C H is considered one of the 10 Photography-related blogs you should be reading by Source Review, Wired.com, Rangefinder and InStyle Magazine. I'm honored to be included in Smithson's Mixtapes, profiling many distinguished professionals in the fine art photography world.
Aline writes: "Constructing today’s MIXTAPE was incredibly exciting–I learned in-depth about a friend and design icon who has traversed a remarkable photographic terrain, creating a legacy for excellence and creativity. Elizabeth Avedon's blog is a go-to destination for photographers, bringing her unique perspective to her observations and posts. I first met Elizabeth Avedon when she reviewed my work at Review Santa Fe. I had no idea what to expect, but it turned out that our twenty minutes was my favorite of the event. She was warm, funny, engaging, and encouraging. We kept in touch and several years later, when I was exhibiting in New York, she attended my opening. It was a reflection of the kind of person she is, someone who makes the extra effort to support, encourage, and educate. It was great to reunite with her in Chicago at the Filter Photo Festival this past fall."

"Elizabeth carries a lifetime of creative seeing, that combined with
her exposure to the the greats of design and photography, add up to a
remarkable ability to make her mark on all aspects of design that
surround the photograph. Her down-to-earth generosity and unflagging
enthusiasm for all things photographic make her a very special member of
our community."

Our community is so much richer for your involvement in it—both your's and Aline's. Now…about that Paul Simon song. Was it (he asks, with tongue in cheek) "Kodachrome"?!
