"When I was a kid, my family went on vacation in the Smokey Mountains. We climbed Chimney Rock. It wasn’t easy, the weather was bad, but we were determined to get to the top. When we finally made it, my parents handed me the Polaroid camera and I took my first picture. Just the usual tourist photo of my parents proud to have made the trip, but for me, watching that Polaroid develop sparked the beginning of a lifelong passion for image making. That’s how I like to remember it." – Aaron Cameron Muntz
