Hi, I received a notice today from the Visual Journalism group of the RPS about a very interesting forthcoming event which may be of interest to people within reach of London.
Chris Boot, former director of Magnum, has a book coming out of interviews of 61 Magnum photographers. It comes out next month - just in time for Christmas, hint, hint - and is called 'Magnum Stories'. >From the blurb on Amazon: "This book explores the 'photo story' through 61 master classes by some of the world's greatest photographers, all members of the international photographic agency Magnum. Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eve Arnold, Elliott Erwitt and their colleagues use the photo story as a vehicle to explain their approach to taking and editing photographs." On Dec 17th the VJ Group is holding a Q&A session with Chris Boot and up to 9 (nine!) Magnum photographers. They say "the nature of photojournalism makes it impossible to confirm who the photographers will be, but they could include any or all of: Stuart Franklin, Martin Parr, Chris Steele-Perkins, Thomas Hoepker, Thomas Dworak, Karl de Keyzer, Patick Zachmann, Hiroji Kubota and Dennis Stock". Tickets are �5.00 and selling fast. It starts at 6.30pm, and is at the Guardian Newsroom, 60, Farringdon Road, London. To book, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't make it because I have a prior committment on that date, annoyingly. -- Cheers, Bob
