From an interview with photographer Jeff Jacobsen in the April 2013 issue of Photo District News:
I'm fascinated with the world and what we call "reality." I think it's what photography does best. I think it's the only thing photography does that is unique as a medium. It renders a still image from a specific moment in time and space. That's it. But that's, to me, endlessly fascinating. So I'm less interested in conceptual stuff that's set up. I'm always interested in photographs made in reality but [that] have a certain ambiguity about them that allows me - the viewer - to wander around emotionally within the picture.
