Transcript of Larry Towell Interview on Twitter

Larry Towell twittering in the Magnum NY office. Photograph taken by Meagan Young I have to apologize, when posting the announcement about our live Question & Answer session with Larry Towell on Twitter I actually posted the wrong date. The Twitterview was yesterday and not today. I'll make sure to announce the right date the next time around. In the meantime here is the transcript of the conversation with Larry. For those of you who are not familiar with Twitter: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send and read other users' updates (otherwise known as tweets) which are text-based post of up to 140 characters. Basically it's a communication tool that gets more and more popular. Live Question & Answers with Magnum photographers on Twitter allow you to ask precise and short questions and get answers right away. The @ sign signals a reply to that user. @magnumphotos Hi Larry - is there anything about being associated with Magnum that you feel negatively about? @michaelbel In life in general it's hard to be in cooperative where everyone has equal say and share, it's a creative tension. @magnumphotos Hi! you always take field recordings when you travel-how important do you think it is for photographers to embrace multimedia? @thefrook In this day and age it's critical if you want to participate in the issues of our day online, I also find it liberating @magnumphotos what inpired you to become a photographer and which have been the influences in your life? @AdrianArias The subjects have been my influences , what inspired me was first person experience in Central America in the '80s @magnumphotos what is documentary photography for you? @AdrianArias It's my own engagement with the people and places I place myself as a freelancer

Nice. But somewhere between too cursory and cryptic for my taste.

i like the concise answers.. the twitter thing is a shame for me, since there have been three initiatives now missed simply by virtue of my not checking sooner..

I'm really not into this twitter technology but I've been enjoying these conversations nonetheless. My only gripe is that unlike a proper interview, the lack of structure may be a little disheveling and risks being clamourous with little content. But opening discourse like this is a good thing. I cant thank you enough.

Hello. I am doing a project on your art work. i get to pick a picture that inspires me and recreate my idea of it.. but these photo i cant find on your web sight. i saw it at a gallery. It has smoke in the background, and on the clear streets are residue of a war. Parts of building ect. I was wondering if you could tell me when, were, and what kind of method you used to shoot this. I also have to write and essay on your methods. So any extra info would be greatly approved. I hope this doesn't take up to much of your time.. I really loves this picture and and very inspired by your work. A quick return would be nice i have to write it by Sunday. Thanks so much for your time. Leeanne a student of R.C.I.
