A sentence or two of text accompanies each photograph, creating storylines that draw the viewer into the world of the objects as strongly as if they were human, except, their not being human allows the viewer a purer sense of what they tell us. David Hume Kennerly, the Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer, says in the foreword, "The narrative and pictures reunite twins separated at birth."
The photographs pull the viewer in with their emotional content, then ask the viewer to step back for another look--to both feel and think, to understand truths beyond words.
Patricia Z. Smith was the photographer for the "War on Poverty." She taught photography at the Smithsonian Institution and has had several one-person shows. She is a playwright, a collector of pre-1850 quilts exhibited at the Smithsonian, and is a globally-recognized peace activist.
