You have an intrinsic problem as a photographer and that is that you have a three dimensional world. You have a world that has sound and sense and it has got all kinds of ambient things - it's extremely complex in all its details - tonally, aesthetically, contrast wise, everything. You have to take this world which you experience and translate it to a two dimensional piece of paper and make it come alive again to somebody that has never experienced it before. And you do that emotionally.
- Rodney Smith


This is why I photograph.
