In an effort to bring more photography on the Magnum Blog I am starting a new series of posts today called "Photo of the week". I admit... Posting a photo of the week is not a new idea but it's a nice way to share some more photographs from Magnum's enormous archive with you. Not much text - if text at all - other than the caption, just some visual joy.
Given the fact that Magnum's online archive currently consists of about 400.000 photographs I don't really have to worry about running out of adequate images. Even if every single Magnum photographer would stop shooting right now we'd have enough photographs for the next 7.692 years. Under these circumstances chances are pretty low that we will live to see the end of the "Photo of the week" series...
Today's photo of the week is a pretty well known one by Marilyn Silverstone but let's see which jewels the archive brings to the day of light that are less known...
