Synopsis: Over the course of five summers, Avedon traveled the western United States by car, photographing over 800 people. "A master of American fashion and art photography turns his artistry to capturing--in a series of photograph portraits--the cowboys, roustabouts, drifters, gamblers, bar girls, and others who characterize the modern Western experience."
