A great quote. I’ve definitely noticed how photographers can stray from capturing an image that conveys a message to shooting photos that shows how good they are at doing what they do.

I agree Vivian, which is why I enjoy working with David so much as a photographer because his work always teaches me something about people, never about photography. That seems a rare quality these days when so often photography is overwhelmed by style.

Rodriguez’s work is indeed amazing, DR–beautiful, emotionally powerful, intellectually challenging.
I’m part of a project that’s teaching photography to poor black and Latino teenagers. We’ve shown them Rodriguez’s website for a couple different reasons. First, we simply want them to see some great photography. Second, we want them to know that it’s done by people from their community and that it often reflects lives similar to theirs.
