[Leica] MAGNUM - HOME

[Peter Dzwig]

Gerry,

Yes, I agree it is pro-Fuji, but they are sponsoring the book, so it's hardly
surprising.

What I was pointing out was the processes that they went through, which I found
very interesting, particularly the ones on editing and the printing processs,
but all were fascinating.

With regard to a "project" I wasn't thinking of books particularly. There are
alternatives such as a gallery (static or fluid) around our individual
interpretations of the subject, or possibly a "competition" or some combo thereof.

Regards,

Peter

A number of the photographers involved seemed to be saying they were not happy with the larger size and preferred a smaller camera, although they didn’t say so in so many words. The impression I got was that they were saying what was anted rather than what they thought.
