Yes, only one post on Visa pour l’Image, the Perpignan festival.
It is little, really very little especially at a time when photojournalism is weakening day by day for lack of means, audience and enthusiasm.
For all who loved; This long descent into indifference is heartbreaking.
Look at the archives of the Eye of Photography throughout this month of September which are dedicated to it, they are exceptionally open to all and free.
You will find some of its most beautiful moments there.
We would have gladly devoted the week of August 27 to September 3 to the festival. Unfortunately, the organizers limit to 3, the photos given per subject.
With 3 photos in a magazine: you make 3 doubles and a masterpiece. On a site, with 3 photos, you make shit.
There has never been so many photographers as there are today.
There has never been fewer photos shown.
What a huge mess!
But at least for us, the dinosaurs of this environment, we still have this magic formula: I remember!
