Antique photographs have always been a central element in the work of the artist, but in addition
to collecting and utilizing photography in his art, Smith has been an avid photographer himself. His most recent photographic project has taken him deep into the rural south documenting Black communities and
photographing decaying monuments of the Old South. An innovative aspect of this new work is his picture-in-picture series which was unveiled to public acclaim at the Bridge Art Fair during last year’s Art
Basel Art Fair in Miami. His photographs were the subject of his recent NYC one man show, “Playing God”, and was highlighted in the May 2007 issue of Arts & Antiques Magazine.
