This is really sad news for the world of photography. A stroke strikes the wonderfully creative mind of famed portrait photographer, Richard Avedon. Two things that I really fear are having a stroke and loosing my eyesight.
I explored your link to Mr. Avedon's works and found one of them quite fascinating. Not very often does Satan himself sit for a portrait...by the way, he passed away yesterday.
