Editing, the sport of Kings…
Not really, more of a madman’s endeavor… I have been selecting pictures for the Mamut Photo online galleries, and after a few, I realized that the images that I chose were the images that reminded me the most of my own. The artists I choose were those who’s vision is close to my own…
Now I guess it is normal, considering that the whole Mamut Photo project is built from my own passion for photography, but it means that I have to be extra careful to put up images that are representative of the photographer’s work, and not just the images that I like, because those images might not touch others in the same way they touch me. It also means that if Mamut ever goes further and we get a physical gallery, I’ll have to keep my passions on a tight leash if I don’t want the whole thing to look like if I had taken all the images… I begin to understand and respect the job of editors, and I even start to enjoy it. Who knows, maybe one day there’s going to be a Mamut Magazine…
