Richard Avedon by GoldPic

Richard Avedon was born in New York on May 15, 1923 of russian-jewish immigrant parents.
He attended Dewitt Clinton High School in the Bronx, but never completed an academic education. In 1940, at age 17, Avedon dropped out of high school and joined the merchant marine's photographic section, taking personnel identification photos. Later, he went on several missions to photograph shipwrecks.

 I liked this photograph because it was really different and stood out to me.
