A Day in the Life of Vassar

Francis Smith (Blog.FrancisSmith.info) took his first photos at the age of two as he sat on Santa’s lap at the local Christmas barn and was soon monopolizing his family’s Kodak Instamatic. Born and raised in Westport, Connecticut, he was given his own 35mm Minolta for high school graduation. Smith quickly mastered black-and-white photography as he studied art history at Vassar. He now lives in New York City and photographs people, interiors, and other editorial subjects. He is currently developing a story on the apple as fruit and cultural nexus; he eagerly anticipates photographing the endangered apple forests of Kazakhstan and other visual manifestations of humanity’s relationship to its environment.
