According to Dean, “LIFE almost single-handedly changed the image of the news photographer from a slovenly, tobacco-chewing slob under constant pressure … to the pseudo-sophisticated type in neckties who were allowed to use initiative and imagination … We knotted our ties and set off to con people into all sorts of things they frequently didn’t want to do….It was all the most fun in the world.”</span></p> <p style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adapted from </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Great-LIFE-Photographers-Editors/dp/0316097934/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1EH15RRHPZHFO&keywords=the+great+life+photographers&qid=1570115481&s=gateway&sprefix=the+great+life+photogr%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Great LIFE Photographers</span></a></p> <blockquote id="double-block_5d9f8f7d9b658" class="double-image aligncenter"> <section> <img decoding="async" data="block-image" data-id=5355066 desc="Asset ID: 1219822.
