Richard Avedon

Richard Avedon's portraits have filled the pages of the America's magazines fro many a long year.

His photographic reputation was earned as a fashion photographer but his greatest achievement have been his reinvention of the genre of photographic portraiture. He is seen as one of the premier American portrait photographers.

The New Yorker has published an unfinished portfolio of the work of Richard Avedon.

Doris made a year long walk across America to rally support for election reform. I just love the Go Granny Go button.

There was a special exhibition of his work at Museum of Modern Art.
