I agree completely and have often urged and argued (in print and through imagery) that our relationship to "document\" and "photojournalism" needs to evolve, or rather, to excavate. That many photographers and many editors and many arbiters see use an old paradigmn to harness their references is often disheartening at best, borish at worst. ....... cheers bob - Bob Black Mon, 10 Mar 2008 13:35:57 +0100 http://www.foto8.com/home/content/view/381/31/#comment-36 Repetition may not be new to photography, but when it comes to photojournalism surely it IS new - a cry for attention to a world that increasingly relegates the still image to the realms of art rather than reportage. Art can do what it likes, but reportage, surely, is linear; adding repetition to it is to turn it into a form of (maybe - big maybe) artistic comment. But journalism it ain't (though possibly none the worse for that)! - Nick Sun, 09 Mar 2008 18:44:12 +0100
