The ratio of these various interests varies greatly. Some of us put the aesthetic qualities above all else. For others it may be the story. Some are well balanced throughout the entire gamut. I love the fact that our Doug Herr cares as much about the identification and habits of his subjects as he does about the aesthetics, technique, and technical. I love that Nathan journals with passion and consistency, with just enough concern for technical to achieve an admirably high quality journal. I love that Chris Crawford maintains an outstandingly coherent aesthetic point of view while documenting Indiana and every other place he sets foot; with dedication and seriousness of purpose. I love that Jim Shullman is dedicated to nostalgia, social subcultures, and maintaining his umbilical cord to the past; while being fully present in the oddest places. I could go on and on expressing my love for every member of this wonderful group; and their particular place on the a journalist, an artist, a scientist, a technician, a researcher, a craftsman continuum. There's only ONE Ted Grant - Photojournalist - Tech be damned - KISS - Love you Ted. a note off the iPad, George On Apr 12, 2014, at 10:42 PM, tedgrant at shaw.ca wrote: > technicians or photographers?????????"
