Beautiful Thank You

A couple of revelations for me in the video. Interesting that the zoo shoot either coincided with or was the impetus for his use of the naked white background. Also, I wasn't aware that he shot 35mm.

When I was in business back in the 1980's, I had a big poster of Nastassja Kinski and the Serpent photographed by Avedon on my wall behind my desk. Times were different then. I used to love when people would come visit me, sit in front of my desk and have discussions or negotiate with me about this and that. Very distracting for them. Their eyes kept drifting upwards over my head to the poster as I made believed I didn't notice them looking. Lots of fun.

Same here (France). Oh well, we already had the US-only Classifieds. I can live without either of these (video or ads).

Similar experience here with that poster

I can get to what I think is the site in question, namely TIme but to get any further I appear to have to agree to share most aspects of my life with parties unknown.

It might be nice to know what Avedon's views on animals were but the price is too high. I'll pass

How would Avedon's views on animals meet your needs?

Since "views on animals" are crucial for you, please let us all know your own "views on animals".

Yesterday was Django Reinhardt's likely birthday. As a player of Gypsy Jazz, I own a bunch of French Django Reinhardt videos.
They are unplayable on American video systems. I paid to have them converted to an international standard.

Similarly, the French bourse (stock exchange) is too primative to relate well to other stock exchanges.

I'm not surprised that a French person is unable to see an important video about Richard Avedon.

I can watch the video...living in Bremen, Germany.

My God...those tones.

What a wonderful video, thanks.

A .mp4 file with H264 encoding plays everywhere on VLC or other free software. VHS tapes? probably not. Region-bound DVD? It stems from regional marketing restrictions, and can be hacked around easily.

Similarly, the French bourse (stock exchange) is too primative...

How did we drift from Richard Avedon to stock exchange?

I'm not surprised that a French person is unable

Oh I see the common factor is french-bashing.

More to the point:

Indeed, after I agreed (as a one-time experiment) that whatever of my personal data could be transferred to the US, I was allowed to watch the video. Some grumpy Yurpeans....

I think I may have misunderstood the meaning of the word "views". In a photography context especially in U.S. parlance, "views" may simply be photographs of animals. I had(probably wrongly) interpreted views in the more usual meaning in U.K. English of meaning opinions. So I now think that letting you know my views means letting you see my prints(see below). I was not trying to set myself up as an Avedon rival in the matter of photography.

In the photographic sense I have very few "views" on animals but I do enjoy looking at prints of both domestic and wild animals. By too high a price I meant that my interpretation of Time's attitude towards my privacy was that it was trying to extract too high a price in terms of invasion of my privacy just to let me see prints/articles on animals, even from a renown photographer such as Avedon.

I hope that clears matters up

I am in France and I can see this video without any problem.

Interesting works and concepts of Avedon.

Seems a bizarre response to my question. What, exactly, is "Time's attitude toward" the privacy of pentaxuser? And how does that relate to Richard Avedon's photography?

Yahoo! I can watch the five minute video in the UK.

I thought I had explained what I thought might have been a difference on my interpretation of the word "views" and what you actually meant by "views". So when you asked me how Avedon's views on animals were crucial to me I tried to explain my position.
I would have liked to either see his views as in photographs or his views meaning opinions on animals but releasing my data to Time was too high a price to pay for either desire. Time's attitude towards my privacy is that it demands details on my privacy and gives me no way of controlling this which thankfully is no longer the case for companies in Europe

Mr Avedon's views on animals are not crucial to me in either sense or not to the extent of giving my details to Time

I do hope this explains now my position but if it fails to, then best we simply move on

"Time" isn't as interested in the details of our lives as is the Internet mediums with which we access Photrio and our patterns of using it. And the Internet already knows just about everything if one uses a credit or debit card. Perhaps uniquely off-topic and anxious responses to the photo question tell more than "Time" thought to ask.

In any case, I think Avedon's work with animals is remarkable ... I think it contributes to our appreciation of all of the rest of Avedon's work.
