Celebrities are people who by definition are the opposite of "forgotten".
Tina's subject matter.
& most photographers who are going to make a real difference's subject

Not that Avedon didn't make a difference.

themselves by adopting these forgotten people. A mixed bag.
Both in the same shot.
 a real sociological extravaganza.
