Slate Magnum New Year Photos

No, it's not hijacking at all.

I'm really enjoying the dialog, and thinking about photographers I know vis a vis established and well-known photographers.

There are one or two who submit their stuff to this site who wouldn't be out of place on the Magnum books. However, I think for the rest of us, we can continue snapping away and enjoying what we can achieve at whatever our level of expertise.

Thanks Jon for the link.

I had never seen Slate before this, enjoyed all the photos. I will make it a daily to check it out. Thanks again.

I agree that the Slate-Magnum galleries are often quite good, and I often enjoy them for the opportunity they offer to see these pictures.

But I would also assert that if this forum had a paid staff to curate and market what is in the galleries, the body of work would be comparable.

I have spent many, many nights seeing local and national music groups in my town, and if anyone thinks nationally known music acts are the cream of the crop, they are sadly misled. Quite often the difference between fame and anonymity is motivation and opportunity, not skill. I've seen enormously talented groups with a fresh and invigorating approach vanish for no apparent reason other than people's lives (jobs, families, etc.) got in the way of entertaining others. Can't say I blame them.

Today's Slate Magnum spread makes me want to weep. I hope they balance up with a view from "the other side".

Tragic.

No doubt, but alot of those pics are from previous years. Though it seems to slant toward one side eh?
