Photographer Richard Avedon Dies at 81 (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041001/ap_en_ot/obit_avedon_8)
Can't say I was a huge fan or anything - he was always just one of those people that always seemed to be around. He did have a unique way of making really famous and attractive people downright ordinary and ugly at times.
Richard Avedon, the revolutionary photographer who redefined fashion photography as an art form while achieving critical acclaim through his stark black-and-white portraits of the powerful and celebrated, died Friday. He was 81.
Avedon suffered a brain hemorrhage last month while on assignment in San Antonio, Texas, for The New Yorker, taking pictures for a piece called "On Democracy." He spent months on the project, shooting politicians, delegates and citizens from around the country.
That's how you stay alive - you just keep working and working.
