Jacob Israel Avedon, Sarasota, Florida, August 25,1973


“When you pose for a photograph, it’s behind a smile that isn’t yours. You are angry and hungry and alive. What I value in you is that intensity. I want to make portraits as intense as people.” - Richard Avedon, from a 1970 letter to his father Jacob Israel Avedon
