Talk:Richard Avedon

message: Many of the sources I've found say that he dropped out of high school and went to work for a photo company before joining the merchant marines, while others say that he went to high school (no mention of graduating, though) and then attended Columbia, and then joined the merchant marines.
Can anyone shed any light on this subject? 
Edit: I contacted both the DeWitt Clinton Alumni Association as well as the Columbia University Department of Public Affairs. A representative of the DeWitt Clinton Alumni Association replied with the following email: 
:"I am responding on behalf of the DeWitt Clinton Alumni Association.
: 
:Richard Avedon left Clinton in the spring term of 1941 without receiving a diploma. I have never seen his permanent record to know if he would have graduated in June 1941 or if he was missing credits that would have held him back a semester or so. He is not listed in any graduation program, naturally.
: 
:I have no doubt that the appearance of DeWitt Clinton in all his biographies has to do with his friendship with classmate James Baldwin.
: 
:I cannot answer about Columbia."
Would it be possible to cite this somehow in the article?

message: hi...
this site is great and i love it but i have a question...(i'm not really upset, just confused..)
i contributed 2 pics to Richard Avedon's page 1st one was the Time cover with Cher (it was moved but it looks ok where its at)...
and i put a pic of Nastassia Kinski with serpant which is nowhere to be found on his page..why was it removed?
i placed it next to the list of famous Avedon photos and that one is named, so i figured to put it there...
i'm pretty sure i added the right tags to keep it there...who removed it and why?
also...did the same person move Cher to a different location...not that it matters but Cher really should be up top (along with Avedon's pic of course).
:First: Welcome! Do, please sign your remarks on the talk page by using four tildes (~) That will place your name and datestamp. I'm the one that move the Cher photo and someone else made another improvement leaving my placement. I don't believe that it should be at top as the book cover is more representative. Also it was too large, so I scaled it to be similar to the other images. This makes a better layout. Don't know about the other photo. Doc 22:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Restored the other photo, not sure how it got deleted. Doc 22:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't remove the Kinski photo earlier but just removed it now, because it's a copyvio and not a legitimate fair use.  The photo is copyrighted and not licensed under the GFDL nor in the public domain; and we can't just say "fair use" and post any photo we want on Wikipedia because it's a great photo.

message: We read in a caption: Richard Avedon's famous Time cover of Cher. I'm no expert on Avedon (or Cher), but I'd never heard of this. Moreover, it seems (by Avedon's standards) peculiarly uninteresting. I'm sure that the resolutely middlebrow Time prevented him from doing anything out of the ordinary, and that he earned his fee, but I don't see what this image is doing in the article at all, let alone why it's called "famous". -- Hoary 02:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
