Rick Smolan

I appreciate that Rick Smolan does not glorify his work as a photographer and willfully expresses his shortcomings, he seems like a simple down to earth person.
I agree with the idea that creative people work the best under pressure. Some of my best work has come under deadlines, having to make a decision is half the battle. When you have time to make choices you tend to over think the situation ultimately shying away from your gut instinct.
I love Smolan's photographs having recently looked at Obama's time capsule Link exemplifying how vibrant and interesting his photographs are.
