Avedon's portraits in "In the American West" were taken with an 8X10 camera clos e to his subjects (so close he could almost touch them). This would suggest tha t he was not using a very long lens (300? 360?) and certainly not the traditiona l 1 1/2 to 2 times normal focal length lens for portraiture. Can anyone give me insight into his technique and lens selection? Regards from Toronto, Mark Nowaczynski
