Ever hear the one about the three blind men and an elephant?

Three blind men come across an elephant.  The first man happens upon its leg, and concludes it’s a tree. The second man bumps into its trunk, and concludes it’s a snake.  The last blind man feels its tail, and concludes it’s a broom.

Moral of the story? One person's subjective truth may not be another's truth, let alone the whole truth or even any part of the truth.

(there's a whole lot more to this story, but you get the idea).

As photographers, filmmakers, writers, and educators, THIS is the motivating force behind our art: to get to essential truths and share what we learn, always with the ambition of authenticity, humanity and wit.
