Thank you. This is a loss for those of us who look to others for direction. I am only a level above intermediate and still need to take more time with my images. To see the images of the great ones does much for me, whether this is "my" kind of photography or not. This is a loss. What is nice, with photography the images do remain. Blessings and Peace.

I heard about this at school on Thursday (but he was still alive then), from a girl in my Photography class. Her father works for Richard Avedon so she knew of it when it happened. So I knew he was ill... This is very sad that he's gone.... :~( I had gone to his show at the Met in NYC. His work took my breath away.

I am, therefore I create.......

a great photographer... his portraits showed more then the surface but went deep into what was human

I had not heard the news of his sudden illness or passing. Big Sigh As a student I looked at his work in awe and total respect for his creative genius. I read the article you linked, and when I got down to the last paragraph I read the quote from Avedon and paste his comment here: "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," he said in 1970. "I know that the accident of my being a photographer has made my life possible."

Even I with minimal Photography Knowledge....knew many of this Man's great Works...they were so Worldly known....the passing of an Era.
