SMITH: … And you know, Elizabeth Gilbert has traveled the world and written about so many amazing moments. But 5 years old – it sort of set her worldview in motion.
CONAN: I was taken by the story Kimberly Rose wrote, called “Photo Finish,” where she gets a packet of photographs her husband had taken at her daughter’s 2-year-old birthday party and realized she was in none of them, and had not been in any pictures her husband had taken since they were married; that he didn’t love her and never did.
SMITH: So Kimberly Rose is why I started Smith magazine. She saw this prompt – who knows where – on Facebook, a newsletter – … and she decides to think about a moment that changed her life. And it’s this – she’s sitting outside of a like, CVS Pharmacy, opening up these pictures that she was picking up from the family camera. And she realizes she is not part of her husband’s life, part of the story. There’s no pictures of her. And at that moment, she decides she needed to get a divorce. And there’s a great ending in that story, which is that she then gets some professional photos taken of herself, and she just looks at those photos and feels like, I did it. I changed my life.”
