I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with Mr. Newman.  He was a Miami-born photographer who is credited as the first person to photograph a subject in his own surroundings (i.e. not in a portrait studio).

I found this pretty awesome quote by him a few days ago:

I am convinced that any photographic attempt to show the complete man is nonsense.  We can only show, as best we can, what the outer man reveals.  The inner man is seldom revealed to anyone, sometimes not even the man himself.

Well-spoken, Mr. Newman.
