07/07/2002 Entry: "the Country Doctor"
W. Eugene Smith was one of the great photojournalists ever. His life was tumultuous as he fought to remain true to his craft. A simple assignment to shoot in the city of Pittsburgh turned into a life-long pursuit to document this city.
One of his first great photo essays (and a pioneering work in the evolution of the photo essay) was Country Doctor. All of those who came after Smith were influenced by the personal, emotional work that he relentlessly pursued above all else.
