Young photogs of Magnum
« on: December 11, 2012, 09:58 AM »
From the Independent:

"All that’s in the past tense, in the same way that one talks of Stalin or Watergate in the past tense: Magnum put its stamp on an era – a long one – with such unforgettable gusto that it became part of that era. Yet the founders of Magnum had the foresight to organise themselves in a way that allowed the brand (to use a word many of them would probably cringe at) to survive beyond that long wave of greatness. That is why today we are able to offer  you Young Magnum: four photographers in their late-twenties and early-thirties with the spark of brilliance, the individuality of eye and the ferocious commitment for older members of the co-operative to recognise them as fellow spirits, and haul them inside."

Bieke Depoorter, Olivia Arthur, Dominic Nahr, Peter van Agtmael

Great link  :), Don, and that is why I think the Independent is one
of the best newspapers in the world.   And, yep, I agree with your idea
of them being invited to speak at one of the NPAC conferences .   Ms. Depooter
seems/sounds like she has the same style (of travel/accomodation) as Ed Ou, who
spoke in Wpg at the 2011 NPAC conference :)

Cheers,

Jack
