Photography past forward Book

There are too many perfunctory questions like "How did you get interested in photography?" which will not always give you an answer that is very interesting. The best was Imogen Cunningham who said that too many people have asked her that question! Much depends upon the personality of the photographer, which granted, one cannot really separate from the work... but have a conversation with them, don't ask them questions which can sometimes be answered in a single sentence!
