Oh, they had their share of celebrity and VIP portraits, some of which allowed a bit more creative freedom, but mostly it seems like it was "shoot what you see." (I recently checked out a "Life Photographers" book from the library and its full of pretty incredible "found" images in general. Worth looking at if you get the chance.)

Is this true of the book itself? (By "made" I mean photos where props and people are positioned and posed, lighting and backdrops are carefully selected, etc.) From a quick glance at the weblog I would infer that McNally is interested in “made” photos rather than “found” photos.
