Country Doctor (1948) – W. Eugene Smith
W. Eugene Smith was famous for his war snaps, but more than this, he became well-known for his approach to his subjects. He wanted to be immersed in their lives and try to be in their shoes, which was evident in this picture titled Country Doctor. This man is Ernest Ceriani in Kremmling, Colorado.
He followed the expert to the Rocky Mountains in a neighborhood with 2,000 people and witnessed how the man cared for the sick. Smith’s pictures were published in Life, although he reportedly resigned after having difficulty with editors.
