I have a clear step one…I consider it a sort of a cheat. Magnum Photos.
“an idiosyncratic mix of artist and reporter”
Magnum is a photographer-owned collective. The photographers run the agency. They vote on who gets to join. This is an imperfect system. They call themselves a “co-operative of great diversity and distinction.” But, it is limited to the perspectives of the photographers they chose; most critiques of Magnum have to do with their imperfect “diversity”, followed by their gatekeeping sense of “distinction”.
That being said, if you find a better imperfection than Magnum, please let me know.
Every image is a poem and a world. I think I have faith in humanity because the Magnum photographers see us all so well and still love us.
First stop. And I don’t move on if I don’t have to.
