From Last week: Richard Avedon passed on today. A mutual friend of Dick and mine called me as soon as he found out about the first hemmorrhage on Saturday at a shoot. I repaired his 8x10 Deardorff twice. He was a very nice and humble man. We used to discuss the ease that the V8 Deardorff could be used. He loved that camera. The first time he called me was 10 years ago. He said his V8 was not working smooth. I asked him if he ever lubed it. He gasped and said "never thought of it!" I sent him some grease I use with instructions. He called me from location in Europe and was all excited. He said he wished some people would change as much as his camera after a "good lubing". He used it till the end from what I heard.
