Magnum Photos Feature: Bolivian Elections by Chris Anderson

[martin_fuchs2]

Hi all,<br><br>

Magnum says hello again and they wish us a Happy New Year with a new

and very powerful multimedia essay. Magnum nominee Christopher

Anderson (whom I interviewed in New York already) travelled to Bolivia

in December to photograph the election of Evo Morales, a former coca

farmer intent on bringing socialism to his indigenous countrymen.

Chris Anderson photographed before, during and after the presidential

elections and did not only bring back impressive black and white

photographs but also field recordings he did during his 10 days

trip.<br><br>

Magnum is the best site I have ever seen for photography. Esp for street photography.

funny they don't have arbus.

Photojournalism at its best. I like Andersons' style, those deep blacks and those defocused planes in foreground. I didn't know he left VII... it's somehow a pity, I like that "small" agency and the business model they're trying to promote.
