Must confess that I don’t know anything about Avedon ! Having said that, the boy in dungarees certainly looks like he’s from the American mid-west ! Some of the characters look as if they could tell a tale or two, I found a few of them quite intriguing.
Thought one of the ladies reminded me of a fortune teller, but then again I always have been attracted to “gypsies” :)))

I once saw a lecture he took at The Royal Festival Hall back in the early 1990s. He was about seventy but had the body language of a man in his thirties. So much energy and enthusiasm for his work and for life…
