There's places you can find Avedon on the web, but his work is so well-known, it probably doesn't matter.

"I like people, and I like to photograph them the candid way-the way THEY like to be photographed, with the least possible fuss and formality. When people are pushed around, they are not themselves and the pictures reveal it. I like to photograph people and things as much as possible the way I find them, choosing for my pictures their most expressive attitudes. This calls for watchful observation coordinated with the immediate availability of my camera. My Leica has become so much a part of me-virtually an extension of my hands-that the camera and I work as a unit. My reactions are instantly relayed to the shutter, almost always enabling me to get a picture very like my mental vision of what I want to capture on film."
Alfred Eisenstaedt, 1951
