Walker Evans (1903-75), whose work is currently (2000) on display at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, was an American photographer who produced some remarkable images, particularly in the 1930s and 1940s. He is perhaps best known, rightly or wrongly, for a series of photographs he took of tenant farm families in Hale County, Alabama in 1936. Of those probably the most famous are several 8 x 10 portraits of Allie Mae Burroughs, dark hair pulled back, tightlipped, against unpainted wooden clapboards. There are not many other photos one can think of that “stand” for a moment in history and are so widely assumed to have summed up the situation of a suffering population as these do.

His close-up style, influenced by Bernd and Hilla Becher, puts all of his subjects — no matter their status — on equal footing, revealing similarities as well as differences. Though well known for photographing the famous, Mr. Schoeller has always been attracted to a broader range of subjects.
Toward the end of that fight, when the Marines and Loomis were evacuating the area, he had to make a decision. Was he only a photographer, or was he going to put down his cameras and help a young Marine, Lance Cpl. Aaron Austin, who had been shot several times through the chest during the battle? Loomis remembered the admonition of veteran photojournalist David LaBelle, who always said, “Be a human first,” and helped carry Austin out of danger.
