PETERSMITHOZ

This collection of photographs and essays comes from many years of travelling in both creative and business roles. Most were not deliberate photographs but casual shots of subjects that intrigued me for one reason or another... For me, the photographs are more about the story or the circumstance and were not designed to stand by themselves as independent works of art. Like it is with photo-journalists, both words and images are required to tell the whole story, even though both words and images can be viewed and judged independently... I had been living in the UK and USA for several years, largely alone, while trying to build an international software business. It had hit the wall in one of the economic downturns, and I was trying to build it back up again.
