Michael Hingson and his guide dog, Roselle, were working in the north tower on September 11. Roselle led Hingson down 78 flights of stairs to safety. They were photographed one month later on October 10, 2001 #michaelhingson #roselle #thunderdog #honor911 #richardavedon

In loving memory of the singular Robert Frank. Avedon took this photograph while visiting Frank in Mabou Mines on October 21, 1973 #robertfrank #richardavedon
