A 50-cent peace

When I was growing up and becoming interested in photography, my mom got a copy of The Journey is the Destination, and I remember going through it several times, engrossed in the application of Dan's photography and mixed media journalism. I bought a copy of the book myself when I went off to study photography in college, and it became a regular inspiration when the fine art aspect of my work became too static for me. I would never try to emulate the artwork from the book, but it was just like a breath of fresh air; proof that there was more I could do with my photography besides the cut-and-dry outline of the formality of photo school.
