The Olympics…
Sincere congratulations to the winners of the World Press Photo. The Olympic Games for photographers?
Pierre de Coubertin said ‘The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle, the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.’
So here is one of the contributions I sent to ‘our’ Olympics (you have seen most of it here over the past year). It didn’t win but I think I fought well. That is OK with me. I can live with not winning a photo-contest.
But I am sure the people in these photographs will not be satisfied just with the struggle or the fight (see here or here)…
Photographs? They are about the people we photograph, less about the photographer.
