I've written anecdotes about some of my experiences and thoughts about this period in my first book, which is entitled In the Land of Light, and - [Somewhere Over the Rainbow](https://rodneysmith.com/somewhere-over-the-rainbow/) - I live in a very small, somewhat Bohemian community on the Hudson River about ten miles from Manhattan. We are so close to the city that if this was LA I would be living downtown amidst cement and shopping centers, but luckily it's not and the metropolis of New York ends at the George Washington - [Pears, Clinton, Connecticut, 1973](https://rodneysmith.com/pears-clinton-connecticut-1973/) - And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray Do not go gentle into that good night Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - Dylan Thomas I am fearful of elevators, loneliness, and the evening. It's not the deep dark weightlessness of late - [Mr. S Meets Mr. Smith: Part Two](https://rodneysmith.com/mr-s-meets-mr-smith-part-two/) - As my beautiful green, abundant lawn turns to toast, and the turkey's and peacocks are all running for cover from the heat, I thought it only appropriate that I open myself up for further dissection. It is time once again to take the heat and travel not to Washington, where the frigid air of inhospitable, - [Hallowed-ween](https://rodneysmith.com/hallowed-ween/) - The house is in a whirlwind of anticipation. My wife and my soon to be 16-year-old daughter are running to and fro buying fabric, candies, decorations, etc., all in preparation for the most ghoulish of holidays – Halloween. You would think the Messiah is close at hand with all the excitement! I can smell wonderful - [Thanks be for giving](https://rodneysmith.com/thanks-be-for-giving/) - Many years ago, I was commissioned by The New York Times magazine to do a series of pictures referred to as The Line Pictures. I did three in total and this one was called Skyline, 1995. The only art direction I was given, was that they wanted to shoot a picture with the New York - [Blues of the Delta](https://rodneysmith.com/blues-of-the-delta/) - While photographing in the Mississippi Delta in the spring of 1977, I was lucky enough to live for a few weeks in the small town of Merigold, Mississippi. Saying it was small is an exaggeration, tiny perhaps is more appropriate, with no more than a few hundred inhabitants, clearly delineated by the railroad tracks. The - [We're Talkin' About Money Honey](https://rodneysmith.com/were-talkin-about-money-money/) - My father despite his enormous wealth, extravagance and generosity to his only son, always wanted me to be aware of the value of money. It was always about money, how much or how little, what it bought, what you needed, but perhaps most importantly, it’s value. I do not mean to disparage him for this - [Humble Thyself](https://rodneysmith.com/humble-thyself/) - In the fall if 1962, in the first day of boarding school, I learned some lessons well. A woman teacher walked into the room, and immediately all the boys rose from their chairs as a sign of respect. Of course I had been told this by my mother, that one should stand when a woman - [All Things Point West, When The West Is To The Right](https://rodneysmith.com/all-things-point-west-when-the-west-is-to-the-right/) - For as long as I can remember, I have a penchant to drift slowly into a distant reverie. If I happen by chance to be by some paper, whether it be a napkin, a tissue or a legitimate piece of fine writing paper, I find myself (as I dream of the world around me) doodling. - [How Green Is My Valley](https://rodneysmith.com/how-green-is-my-valley/) - As I am teaching a workshop this week in New York, I thought it only fitting to return to Paris. It is a city that feels old but is constantly new. While having grown up in Manhattan, I find it difficult to find old places that look new. Despite all my years of visual study, - [Oh, The Joys of Summer.](https://rodneysmith.com/oh-the-joys-of-summer/) - For some people it's the call of the wild that draws them to find themselves or to seek refuge, for me in the summer of 1968 it was being a toll collector at the Atlantic Beach Bridge. You see my family's house was not far from the beach, and my idea of a wonderful lazy - [The Rise And Fall of The Smith Reich, Part One](https://rodneysmith.com/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-smith-reich-part-one/) - It all begins with Gunther, the older, tall, Austrian, elegant, distinct, and distant partner of my father. My father and his business partner of over 25 years were polar opposites in temperament, looks, tastes, etc. They seemed to align themselves perfectly though, in one thing, the art of making money. They could have written a - [My Midsummer Night's Dreams](https://rodneysmith.com/my-midsummer-nights-dreams/) - I have always loved obscuring the face, the entry to the soul. I have done this with masks, hats, flags, doorways, gestures, pictures, etc., but never have I done it with a lampshade. Years ago for the cover of New York Time's Magazine we made a lampshade hat that looked both like a hat and - [Mr. S Meets Mr. Smith](https://rodneysmith.com/mr-s-meets-mr-smith/) - "Enough! Enough!" yowls my imaginary woof, Oklahoma. I can finally see by imagining his eyes and visioning his head on the ground with his paws over his ears, that I must cease. It is time to stop my ramblings for a while about my ontological, existential, physiological disorder of an upbringing, and bring us back - [Up, Up, And Away](https://rodneysmith.com/up-up-and-away/) - Some years ago, I was asked to make photographs that illustrated the idea of being on the edge. This was a perfect assignment for yours truly, since as I described so eloquently last week, my life always seems to be on the edge of some ledge or precipice. I never seem to have trouble pushing - ["Where Have You Gone, Mr. Liberman?"](https://rodneysmith.com/where-have-you-gone-mr-liberman/) - In the late fall circa 1975, a great gift was bestowed upon me. What I chose to do with it was another matter. A meeting was set up with the infamous Alexander Liberman, the editorial director of Conde Nast. Alex Liberman ran Conde Nast (Vogue in particular at the time). I remember walking into his - [To See Or Not To See, That Is The Question](https://rodneysmith.com/to-see-or-not-to-see-that-is-the-question/) - I'm in a shopping mood, desperately trying to do my part for American commerce. This feeling comes upon me seasonally, like the primordial smell of early fall. The summer drought is over and a hallelujah revival is at hand. I'm feeling very productive, which translates on occasion in true capitalist fashion for desiring a very - [Gentlemen, Start Your Engines](https://rodneysmith.com/gentlemen-start-your-engines/) - It was a beautiful October morning in 1967, and I was preoccupied with the life around me, classes, books, clothes, girls, and totally oblivious to the real world around me. I was still so innocent, and I liked it that way, keeping my eyes focused on nothing in particular. I did love literature, and was - [A Large Tick And A Little Tock](https://rodneysmith.com/a-large-tick-and-a-little-tock/) - By popular request, I will put off good morning, good day, and good evening Vietnam until next week, and thought instead I'd dive forward into the backwards way I approach a photographic assignment. Let me begin with a recent assignment to photograph for one of my all time favorite creative directors, Janet Froelich. The assignment - [Buoyancy](https://rodneysmith.com/buoyancy/) - The last few weeks I have been feeling in/out/and besides my sorts. I can’t seem to equalize all the turmoil, but Christmas is arising and I am off to see America and grandchildren, and life is slowly returning to an equilibrium. So, before I become so mellow and slip into a meditative trance, I thought - [Thanksgiving Recess](https://rodneysmith.com/thanksgiving-recess/) - I thought I would take one week off from writing about The End, to write about the very beginning. I have just returned from the low country of South Carolina where this picture was taken. That was over 30 years ago. It has reminded me of how the end may be just a beginning In - [Super Slow Exercise, New York City, 2001](https://rodneysmith.com/super-slow-exercise-new-york-city-2001/) - For many years I had tried, to no avail, to get an assignment where I’m allowed to use heavy-set men as the subjects. I have always thought that heavy-set men with a certain amount of style carry themselves in a way that lends itself to really wonderful photographs. However, in today’s culture, there is a - [The Winter of our Content](https://rodneysmith.com/a-green-world-after-all/) - I find myself asking, as well as being asked often by others, about the environments in which most of my photographs take place. What is the story that underlies the places I choose to make my pictures? Nothing seems to make sense on the surface. I was born in Manhattan, raised in a mostly urban - [Moving Forward](https://rodneysmith.com/983-2/) - I have an extraordinary daughter named Savannah, who will at times demonstrate how hard it is to move forward. She is extraordinarily capable of focusing and attaining what lies far ahead, but seems totally perplexed by what lies directly in front. At dinnertime we have a nightly ritual. It usually proceeds like this. I work - [For Every Answer There Is A Question](https://rodneysmith.com/781-2/) - I'm involved in a titanic struggle with myself. I have been for over 50 years. There have been times like Par Lagervist's Dwarf, it is laying dormant or asleep, only occasionally making its Machiavellian self prominent and overbearing. But for the last year in particular, it has surfaced with a vengeance, and has made my - [Early Earth, Part One](https://rodneysmith.com/interregnum-part-2/) - Everything began in the Summer of '62. I was a freshman in high school, and like many well-to-do boys at that time, I was sent on a teen tour of the United States and Mexico. My parents got me excited by the fact that it was coed, and coming from my first year at an - [Happy President's Day](https://rodneysmith.com/happy-presidents-day/) - While the U.S. of A. observes the birth of its first president, I am respectfully sunning myself in beautiful Key Largo, Florida. I shall return to the blogosphere with radiant insights next Monday. Until then, my loyal followers... - [Bernadette Twirling, Part 2](https://rodneysmith.com/bernadette-twirling-part-2/) - “O brave new world that has such creatures in it!” In my case, I refer not to men, as was Miranda in The Tempest, but rather to women. Women, for me, are the miraculous gift, given to a rather incomplete male. They are, on occasion, all that we need to complete ourselves. They are graceful, - [What Goes Down Must Come Up](https://rodneysmith.com/what-goes-down-must-come-up/) - Deep down in the subterranean cavities of my mind, one can find all kinds of metaphors for my favorite room in our house, the basement. It's no wonder that I labored so long and hard in making our basement an exemplar of a fine 19th Century, English manor house basement. The basement is where one - [Oh What A Day](https://rodneysmith.com/oh-what-a-day/) - In the early 1980's I found myself among the people I most wanted to avoid, when I was younger. Despite my insistence that I wanted nothing to do with the corporate world, here I was right smack in the middle with the master's of the universe, and to my surprise and amusement, I found I - [The Family Epic, Part 3: To know, know, know you. Is to...](https://rodneysmith.com/the-family-epic-part-3-to-know-know-know-you-is-to/) - At the time, I was living outside of New Haven, Connecticut in a small town, in a small house, near the ocean, financially and emotionally powerless to fight the enormous wave of defeat with my mother's death, and her third husband's refusal to abide by his own words. But, I did have friends, and I - [The Family Epic, Part Two: From Here To Eternity](https://rodneysmith.com/the-family-epic-part-two-from-here-to-eternity/) - On the evening after the reading of the will, my sister, her husband, and myself had dinner. My sister, much to her credit, announced that she was going to confront my mother in her hospital room. This was a very delicate matter. How does one tell someone they are dying without telling them? I was - [The Family Epic, Part One: As She Lay Dying](https://rodneysmith.com/the-family-epic-part-one-as-she-lay-dying/) - A photograph is the process of giving rather than taking. I learned this from the tragic comedy that encircled my family. It was as if the sins of Adam were passed from husband to wife, and hopefully with the knowledge that came with eating this apple as a young man, the family’s tragedy ends here - [The Force Be With Me](https://rodneysmith.com/the-force-be-with-me/) - In May of 1980, I remember driving along this small windy road in North Wales, and seeing around the corner this extraordinary larger, though somewhat decrepit Manor House. As was my fashion, the larger and more forbidding the house, the more curious I was, and as usual I found myself in front of these large - [Till Death Do Us Part](https://rodneysmith.com/till-death-do-us-part/) - I am always afraid of dying. Not your usual concern mortality, but since I was a young boy at times I have been overwhelmed with every conceivable hypochondriacal ailment, which if allowed to fester would immediately be believed to lead to my death. Unfortunately for the obsessive like me, sometimes fantasy becomes reality, which only - [Why I believe in Mr. Claus](https://rodneysmith.com/why-i-believe-in-mr-claus/) - I think as we approach the Birthday of Jesus of Nazareth, along with serendipitously yours truly, I think it only fitting to now have a truly serious and profound discussion with you, my dear reader. I feel after over one year of trying to tell you (in the most intimate details) the why, the how - [O Come All Ye FaithFul](https://rodneysmith.com/o-come-all-ye-faithful/) - Some gifts are easily given and easily taken, while others surprise you with their generosity and knowledge and are the kind of gift that is hard to describe. I am going to try to tell you how I learned to see rather than just look, and how this has helped me teach others how to - [The Wrong time at the Right Place](https://rodneysmith.com/the-wrong-time-at-the-right-place/) - Many years ago, I remember dreading taking this picture because up to this point, most of the pictures I had made were of a single woman. This was one of the first times I was called upon to make a strong picture of two women. I was now shooting a landscape with two figures placed in - [A Small Part of a Long Story](https://rodneysmith.com/a-small-part-of-a-long-story/) - During my winter break in 1964 when I was a Junior in High School, my father informed me that the following summer I was going to Europe. It was a special tour where I would be living in Holland for a month with a family and then traveling with ten others to various places on - [The cutting room floor](https://rodneysmith.com/the-cutting-room-floor/) - During the late 50's and the early 60's, visiting my Father's office was always the best and worst of times. Quite honestly, the best probably outweighed the worst by a large margin but there were always consequences to having a good time with my Father. Ultimately his power asserted itself, never with the intention of hurting - [From Paris with love](https://rodneysmith.com/from-paris-with-love/) - This is a story about a very simple room that to this day is stamped clearly in my consciousness. It all started in 1959. By this time my Father was a man of means. He traveled the world with my mother on one adventure after another: safaris in Africa, and swimming with turtles in the - [Same time wrong place](https://rodneysmith.com/same-time-wrong-place/) - Since daylight savings time, I haven't been able to straighten out the time. It still seems to go in a BIG circle. Here it is almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon and for whatever reason it feels like it is 4 am. By tomorrow I promise I will be back into the circle of life. - [Praise the Lord, for now I hear](https://rodneysmith.com/praise-the-lord-for-now-i-hear/) - Although the world outside of our enclave in the mid-sixties was filled with America at it's best and most horrific, I, like all good completely egocentric adolescence, was preoccupied with the oncoming, unavoidable, and eventual reality of senior lectures with Mr. Clark. From your first weeks at school, you learned in awe, fear, and sometimes - [Back to School: Part 2](https://rodneysmith.com/back-to-school-part-2/) - It was truly a wonder that I learned anything academic at Boarding School, let alone have any time to peruse any interests that I might have had, because the conspiracy of the elders was to keep these 200 mischievous, innately troublesome youths, so busy changing clothes, that at the end of the day who could - [Back to School: Part 1](https://rodneysmith.com/back-to-school-part-1/) - Just as I was approaching my full adolescence, and girls began to occupy at least 90% of my thoughts, and cars the other 10%, my parents thought it the perfect time to send me to an all boys’ boarding school. That way, they could leave the driving to them, and they would be free to - [What Lies Within](https://rodneysmith.com/appearance-is-deceptive/) - It happened in New Haven, Connecticut in the Fall of 1972. Twenty years after my mother's illness and withdrawl. I had just made my first 8x10 prints from my first contact sheet, from my first photography class. I remember walking up the stairs to my cockroach infested, but cute apartment in New Haven and looking - [The Song of Summer of '52](https://rodneysmith.com/the-song-of-summer-of-52/) - So where was I? It seems quite ironic that what I most remember, what I can literally mark as one of the major turning points in my life, began and ended in the summer of 1952. Peculiarly because, as I mentioned last week, camp for the next eleven years was nothing but a blur, a - [Sing Along with Me - The Camp Experience](https://rodneysmith.com/sing-along-with-me-the-camp-experience-part-one/) - In the urban centers of America, there is the annual summer ritual for school children of Camp. Parents left with the notion, this almost free-floating anxiety, of children Home Alone for two to three months with no schedule is overwhelming and downright unacceptable. So, someone in the great spirit of the American frontiersmen, created Camp, - [Les-a-lee](https://rodneysmith.com/leslie/) - I'm having a really hard time this week writing about what I want to, my wife Leslie, "the force that through the green fuse drives my flower," but I'm worried I may be straying too far afield from photography. Of course, if one were interested in me personally, then this would all be good grist - [Driving Me Crazy](https://rodneysmith.com/driving-me-crazy/) - One of the very few ways my father and I communicated was over our love of cars. I must admit, my father, despite his disappointment in me, was never at a loss for words for a beautiful car, or a beautiful woman. Put the two together, and something almost extraterrestrial could occur. So it was - ["Waking Life"](https://rodneysmith.com/waking-life/) - Having just seen the enigmatic movie Inception, which has done nothing for my understanding of dreams, either as those developed while in the state of sleep, or even as a metaphor for some hope or aspiration in life, I thought it only fitting to discuss one particular dream that has plagued me since I was - [Pooches and Woofs, Part 2](https://rodneysmith.com/pooches-and-woofs-part-2/) - In the matter of two years, my life, at the age of five or six, went through significant trauma and change. One would think at my current age, post-traumatic syndrome would have worn off. But despite years of therapy, I am very familiar with the symptoms but only vaguely clear of the exact cause. The - [Pooches and Woofs](https://rodneysmith.com/pooches-and-woofs/) - There are two types of dogs in the world that I'm aware of: there are Pooches, and then there are Woofs. This is a very important distinction, and has had a seminal and profound effect on my life. I am definitely a woof man. These are heroic, loyal, courageous dogs, that will protect and defend - [We're Havin' A Heatwave](https://rodneysmith.com/were-havin-a-heatwave/) - I must be in my tropical mood. I'm sitting here in my Summer wardrobe, which consists of basically the exact same as my Winter attire, except that for the Summer months, I indulge myself by wearing a lighter blue gingham shirt rather than my normal, slightly darker blue, that I feel more appropriate to the - [Shopping At All Costs](https://rodneysmith.com/shopping-at-all-costs/) - Some years ago I was asked by Visa to do a picture on shopping, America's favorite pastime. I should know. I grew up with a mother whose idea of consumption was to buy one of everything she liked in every color. Her closet looked like the original Henri Bendel store, with so many shoes, Melda - [Seek and Ye Shall Find](https://rodneysmith.com/seek-and-ye-shall-find/) - I don't know what to say. I'm happy, and this is causing me all kinds of consternation and fear. Something will bring its wrath down on me for daring to feel ok. Oh, those of you who feel positive, and for all you photographic geniuses, watch out, for the wrath of God may humble your - [Rule from the Center](https://rodneysmith.com/rule-from-the-center/) - I grew up in a family of obsessive fanatics. It's no wonder that today I needed an inordinate amount of obsessive-compulsive anti-depressant drugs, just to allow me not to veer slightly to the right. I have an inordinate tendency to obsess about my health, my life, and anything else I can attach myself to. If - [Skyline, 1995](https://rodneysmith.com/skyline-1995/) - In the Spring of 1995 I was commissioned by the New York Times Magazine to do this picture. I had already done two others in this series, and by now these pictures were referred to as "the line pictures." Earlier, I had done Hemline and Airline, and now I was asked to shoot Skyline. The - [A Change Is Not Necessarily An Improvement](https://rodneysmith.com/a-change-is-not-necessarily-an-improvement/) - People often ask me particulars about how I shoot, what film, what format, what cameras, lenses, etc I use, and why, and I thought it about time to answer some of these issues. I've addressed some, but definitely not all of these questions in previous blogs, and as they are intimately related to vision and - [Interregnum](https://rodneysmith.com/interregnum/) - Although I promised last week to further explain my small momentous epiphany in the Museum of Modern Art, which only transformed my life as I now know it, I realized I'm not quite ready to put this all together. I need a break of sorts, so... Beside a vacation, which I've been on for a - [How High the Sky?](https://rodneysmith.com/how-high-the-sky/) - People have often asked me how I knew I wanted to be a photographer, and the answer is at once quite simple, yet has perplexed me psychologically for over 40 years. When I was young, I would often go to the Museum of Modern Art, not as something I wanted to do, but rather it - [Some Things Happen for a Reason](https://rodneysmith.com/some-things-happen-for-a-reason/) - Some years ago, I was shooting at an estate in Long Island, New York, for two clients at once. I know this sounds peculiar, but it was initiated by the clients themselves. Two clients had agreed to hire my services for the price of one. The main client would use most of the pictures, and - [Serenity](https://rodneysmith.com/serenity/) - And you have made the world. And it is large and like a word that yet in silence ripens. And as your will takes in the sense of it, tenderly your eyes let it go... -Rainer Maria Rilke It seems like such a simple thing, it feels so natural and appropriate, but in fact, it - [Storm Cloud, Clinton, Connecticut, 1972](https://rodneysmith.com/storm-cloud-clinton-connecticut-1972/) - This picture was taken a few months after my father died. In late August of 1972, when I was 25 years old, a wonderful thing happened to me. I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news. It was afternoon on a late summer's day in Connecticut. I was mowing the lawn, when - [Illumination](https://rodneysmith.com/illumination/) - I feel that my very core photographic existence today has been a maturing or transitioning process from my earliest years as a photographer. I keep reflecting on the idea that to go forward requires continual reflection on where I've been. Firstly, back to the days in graduate school, as I mentioned last week, my primary, - [Alan Leaping](https://rodneysmith.com/alan-leaping/) - To my devoted readers, I'm so sorry we did not get the blog up yesterday. We had extreme technical difficulties. For some reason, when we came to the studio first thing Monday morning, we found the building upside down. It took us the whole day just to right it, and thereafter, to reorient ourselves to - [Men in Flour Mill, Jacmel, Haiti](https://rodneysmith.com/men-in-flour-mill-jacmel-haiti/) - I thought it only appropriate, given the terrible circumstances surrounding this overwhelmed, under appreciated, decimated country, that I spend this week talking about my experiences there as a young man. I had the good fortune to live in Jacmel, Haiti for a number of months almost 30 years ago. Still till this day, it remains - [Don Jumping over the Hay Bale](https://rodneysmith.com/don-jumping-over-hay-bale/) - Through the years, this has become one of my most popular and well known photographs. People have often seemed to gravitate towards it. I wonder why? As I have often mentioned, my methodology for making good pictures seems to rely often on spontaneity and good fortune. This picture was made in Maryland some years ago. - [A.J. Chasing Airplane](https://rodneysmith.com/a-j-chasing-airplane/) - I think what comes to mind when I look at this picture is the Platonic notion of what is real. This really wouldn't have been as complicated an issue 10 to 15 years ago, but today photographs are not even accepted as admissible evidence in a courtroom. There is an almost universal assumption today that - [Transition Part Three](https://rodneysmith.com/transition-part-3/) - I think one of the most difficult, but in the end most liberating aspects of my middle years as a photographer, was the transition from photographing people (subjects) I had carefully searched out and chosen because of their age, wisdom, maturity, character, etc., to photographing models. This was an enormous transformation for me. I went - [Transition Part Two](https://rodneysmith.com/transition-part-two/) - As I began to feel more comfortable with stepping back and placing people in the environment, I also began the transition (which may be discussed in later blogs) to photograph fashion. Ironically, as an aside, I grew up in the world of fashion, when women were stylish, and the photographers were romantic and extraordinary. Today, - [Transition Part One](https://rodneysmith.com/transition-part-1/) - Like all things that are organic, my photographic history seems to have a beginning, middle, and end to it. This morning, I would like to talk briefly about the middle development of my photographic career. As The End primarily deals with the after effects of the middle section of my career, this picture precedes most - [Question Mark](https://rodneysmith.com/question-mark/) - I think this picture, although on first viewing does not appear so, feels like a continuation of some of the issues I addressed very early in my career. This picture was originally shot while I was doing a story on hedge funds. I don't think it was ever used, but has remained one of my - [Golf](https://rodneysmith.com/golf/) - Today when I look at this pictures I smile to myself. But, it recalls a time when I was all but smiling. They remind me of a small part of a much longer story. The game of golf paralleled my relationship with my father as a high school boy. Today I miss him a great - [Self Portraits](https://rodneysmith.com/self-portraits/) - One of the ironies of my life is my need to get very close to someone, and yet let very few people get close to me. It's as if I crave and desire intimacy, yet, probably like many men, I am very fearful of it. I think this is a picture where I am playing - [Andrew and EdytheKissing on a Sea of Cabs](https://rodneysmith.com/hello-world/) - Well. Here I am. On the internet. I am not so sure someone like me belongs here. I shoot film. I listen to Beethoven and Copland. I visit the post office daily. I relish my daily morning paper. But, technology calls, and I feel compelled to try and enter the twenty-first century on all four feet. - [Wade not into Unknown Waters](https://rodneysmith.com/david-on-water/) - Is it really The End? Is it the end of an era or something else? Should I heed the words on this spread: wade not into unknown waters? In the small remote corner of the planet I grew up in—a refined and course place where there were moments where men were gentle and at times - [Bernadette Twirling, New York City](https://rodneysmith.com/bernadette-twirling-new-york-city/) - Part 1 – Inspiration This picture seems to merit two weeks’ worth of my time. So today, for part one, I will focus on location and light--the sources of my inspiration. The first thing that strikes me about this picture is a small anecdote from a shoot that took place long ago at an estate - [Zoe on Mattresses, 2007](https://rodneysmith.com/zoe-on-mattresses-2007/) - First, I want to invite everyone to my book release party this Wednesday night, September thirtieth. For those of you in New York, it will be fairly easy. For those of you out of town, I suggest you purchase your airline tickets now! Theory, the clothing line, will hold the book signing at its shop - [Gary Descending Staircase, Parc de Sceaux](https://rodneysmith.com/gary-descending-staircase-parc-de-sceaux/) - While it’s Monday morning as I write this, this may not be posted until later, as I’m currently at 35,000 in the air feet on my way to the tropics for a shoot. I apologize if I’m late. Today, I’m posting a favorite picture that conjures up for me three different things. First, I have - [Man with Magnifying Glass](https://rodneysmith.com/man-with-magnifying-glass/) - I’m going to go out on a limb, and say this: In order to say something outward, something universal, you must first look inward. I’m sure there are many people who would not agree with me, and that’s fine. This picture conjures up for me the idea of self-reflection.
