"Why?" - with Rick Sammon

I started "Why?" to introduce many of you to the leaders in the photographic industry. Each new episode represents some of the most respected artists in photography today. Plus, there's an incredible benefit to listening to why an image is important to the artist versus just reading about it. Blog posts are so one-dimensional, but nothing tops hearing about the visualization from the artists themselves.

Meet Rick Sammon. Rick and I go back to my Polaroid days. He's an artist, educator, writer, columnist and friends with so many people in the industry. I'm not sure there's anything he hasn't photographed. Plus, he's dealt with virtually every challenge in imaging and then turns what he's learned into lessons to help us all raise the bar on our own images.
