In Time We Will Know Ourselves: Raymond Smith

“In Time We Shall Know Ourselves is saturated with a cultural and personal self-consciousness, that which is unique to Ray Smith’s particular historical moment. Its title also evokes one of the few passages in the Christian Bible that raises crucial philosophical, as opposed to religious, issues. Smith’s recognition that his photographs are concerned with acknowledgment, with personal identity and communal belonging, and with loneliness and solidarity, imparts to [this series] an intelligence and complexity that lifts it above the merely interesting to the often profound.” From Richard H. King
