The portrait of Benson James at 8:30 that you mentioned, is actually quite a sad story. His family received a copy of the book when it was completed but Avedon received a letter back from Benson's mother, saying that he had lost his life in the streets of Gallup, a year after the photograph was taken.

I wish someone would reissue this book.

To all those young photographers: Try to copy an Avedon. If you succeeded, go ahead. If not, choose another hobby.
