During the course of the brief I have been reading several books, I am still currently reading bits from the book Magnum - Fifty years at the front line of history - The story of the legendary photo agency by Russell Miller. I can't imagine how good it would be to work for Magnum; "In the hands of a Magnum photographer, the camera is not just an objective eye, but an instrument to enlighten and inform, a stimulating force to influence opinion and sometimes to speak for those with no voice".
This quote is how I want people to view my work, I want the image to speak for itself without having to tell the viewer exactly what its about. To document the past and "help people understand an increasingly confusing world".
