"If a day goes by without my
doing something related to photography,
it's as though I've neglected something essential
to my existence, as though I had
forgotten to wake up."
-Richard Avedon, 1970-

"As a fashion photographer,
Avedon took human vanity to new heights
even human vanity never dreamed of.
As a portraitist,
he brought us all down to earth."
