Richard Avedon dies in Texas

I am sure we all saw numerous of his photographs.
He was probably the most prolific photographer
of famous people and fashion, incl. Merlin
Monroe and even Charlie Chaplin. Avedon died
in San Antonio in age of 81.

Seems like this is a bad year to be a great photographer - they're dropping
like flies at the minute. Sad.

Just glad there are still lots of exciting new young photographers coming up
to provide the 'greats' of the future.

....more importantly, at 81 he died while working on a photography project. That
is a testament to his life's work in photography and probably he would be happy
with that ending ...

Cheers,
Alan

I wonder what kind of camera he used and if it wasn't autofocus, would
switching have improved his work? (Probably not).
