I’m not a fan of the notion 99% failure 1% success. All of these basic ideas of what makes a good or bad photograph are outdated and boring. We must go beyond the traditional approach to the medium and create new goals.
Photography shouldn’t feel “difficult.” If you’re fumbling with your camera, switch it to automatic mode. If you can’t find any interesting subjects, take a selfie?
There’s infinite ways to approach the medium but we get so caught up in other photographer’s perceptions of what is a worthy photo of praise or not.
I say fuck the tradition. Do everything they say not to do.
Magnum is dead, now what?
