"Incidentally, part of a photographerâ€™s gift should be with people. You can do some wonderful work if you know how to make people understand what youâ€™re doing and feel all right about it, and you can do terrible work if you put them on the defense, which they all are at the beginning. Youâ€™ve got to take them off their defensive attitude and make them participate."

-- Walker Evans
