We wanna salute Joseph Rodriguez.
- When I first saw your book, I was so shocked and happy.
- When did you know that documentary photography was really what you wanted to do?
- [Joseph] I just basically wanted to look at where I come from.
- You wanted real people for your photographs.
- The more you spend with the human experience, the better photographer you become.
'Cause we all wanna be seen, we're human beings, and photography was invented for us to be seen.
