Combining Passions

©W. Eugene Smith from The Jazz Loft Project

 

We love passionate people.  That might seem a bit cliche amongst some circles, but it's true - we really do love passionate people.  As creatives, we REALLY enjoy seeing what happens when people combine several passions together.  The results from these sorts of ventures can be quite astounding and compelling.  

 

One example of this can be found in the work of W. Eugene Smith entitled, The Jazz Loft Project.  Essentially, over the course of several years, Smith combined his love for photography with his passion for jazz, and in doing so created a documentary (complete with reel-to-reel tape recordings) of some of the best jazz musicians who lived at the time.
