Ha ha. True. I have seen his photos from his "America's West" series at Stanford's Cantor museum. IIRC, one criticism on that thread was that he made the people all the same way, in front of the white drop, I believe the words used were "stripped of their humanity." Not my feelings, mind you, just quoting. To me, they are certainly neither glamorous nor tell you much about the people except what Avedon wants you to see. A very narrow and forceful interpretation. In other words, IMHO, you are not looking at the people per se, but rather Avedon's messages of the people.
