(An image that #ChangedEverything from photographer @DavidAlanHarvey. Orders for signed #MAGNUMSquare Prints open June 8th, close June 12th. Shipping anywhere in the world) –> “This photo, which was the cover of my book ‘(based on a true story)’, changed the way I worked forever. After this successful book in 2012, I totally changed my methodology. From that point forward, I focused only on my self-published books. I dropped doing assignments, and simply worked on personal projects and artworks. I never plan a change. Things just happen. I think recognizing when something revolutionary is going on in your creative life is the key. One needs to realize when a turning point is right before your eyes. It’s just like photography itself. Fleeting. Carpe diem. Miss it, and you’ve missed it forever.” — David Alan Harvey

StreetShootr’s Take

I’ve purchased a few prints from previous Magnum square print sales and I can tell you the image quality is top notch. The only issue that some people may have is the relatively small 6×6″ paper size. I find it makes for a more intimate viewing experience and people tend to walk right up to the prints to look at them!

Plus, I’m pretty sure I see an Alex Webb shot at the bottom of the promo image sent out by Magnum to announce the sale. Alex Webb for $100 bucks? Sign me up!
