Ford Smith
Ford is the son of a military man who lived with his parents in a small Japanese village. Ford began taking lessons from a Japanese artist when he was only twelve.
In the late 70s and 80s, he became known as a photographer.
In the early 90s, Ford decided to return to painting. So, in 2000, when he turned 50, Ford decided that he would no longer deny his passion for painting - despite his success and authority as a photographer.
Ford sold his business and never took professional photography again.
Now he lives and works in America.
