My name is Beuford Smith, and I'm basically a street photographer from Brooklyn.
I have totally self-taught background.
Nobody taught me how to print.
A lot of people probably ask you, too.
How do you interact?
How do you get that photo so you don't have to travel to Timbuktu or Peru?
Any place to take photographs?
They're right in front of you.
You just have to be able to see them and take them.
