The blog is a new medium for us to illuminate the stories behind the images, to explore the motivations behind the projects, to discuss the systematic issues that affect all photographers, and to explore the industrial and societal changes that inform our expectations of photography. http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2006/12/welcome_to_the_magnum_blog_1.html http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2006/12/welcome_to_the_magnum_blog_1.html <p>Looks like I am the first one to comment on this Blog - strange feeling that is.

And it's great that Martin Fuchs is here, too; his own Magnum blog was wonderful to follow. </p> http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2006/12/welcome_to_the_magnum_blog_1.html#comment-23 <p>I totally agree with Davin, an interview with Josef Koudelka would be tremendous (though I really loved the one he did with Hervé Guibert in the 1980's).</p> <p>I would also like to hear more about Sergio Larrain, even if I know he is not taking pictures of people anymore.</p> <p>Josef, raconte nous encore tes nuits à la belle étoile !</p> <p>Merci<br /> </p> http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2006/12/welcome_to_the_magnum_blog_1.html#comment-25 <p>I am very excited about this blog. Magnum has been the driving force and inspiration for most of my work. Thank You!!</p> http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2006/12/welcome_to_the_magnum_blog_1.html#comment-27 <p> Finally. I get to read what Magnum photographers are and not just through their images. You'll have inspired me and influenced me with your images. Thank you and look forward to reading you.</p> <p>Best,<br /> Ryan</p> http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2006/12/welcome_to_the_magnum_blog_1.html#comment-46 <p>Larrain<br /> I have just been in Chile and someone told me that the only way to talk with Sergio Larrain about photogrphy is to enrole on his yoga class in Oralle and start talking to him about photography during this, and he is compelled to join in. This is what 2 students from Brazil did and had a terrific encounter.<br /> I edited the photos for his book on London and went through every image, I ,together with Agnes Sire had some dialogue with him and he is delightfully dismissive of photography.</p> http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2006/12/welcome_to_the_magnum_blog_1.html#comment-114 <p>What a wonderfull thing to be able to comunicate throughout this blog, it just makes you feel closer to the stars. Thak you for all ispiration you give to all the image lovers spread around the world, it makes you keep striving for beauty and equilibrium. This is a mexican photographer who admires you as persons and admires your work. An interview with any of Magnum memebers would be great!.</p> http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2006/12/welcome_to_the_magnum_blog_1.html#comment-1958
