I really like him. Outside Inside is one of my most referred to photo book(s).
Davidson handled that project exactly right imo. What a series.
A quote by John Szarkowsky:
“Few contemporary photographers present their impressions so free of embellishment—so unburdened by contrivance and artifice as Bruce Davidson does. In his work, technical and formal considerations remain invisible beneath the surface. The presence that fills these photographs seems to be that of life itself, subtly transformed into art”

Another anecdote about Bruce Davidson is from a time he came to Athens for an exhibition curated by the Hellenic American Union.
One evening, he was invited out to a local neighbourhood where there was live music. As always, he had his camera with him.
At some point, the singer came onstage holding a Greek bouzouki that traditional instrument and his presence was so striking that Bruce immediately jumped up from the table to photograph him.
That’s when everyone realised that even at the age of eighty, even in the middle of dinner, he still had those wild photographer’s reflexes: instant, instinctive,
unstoppable.
