While the editor's away the mouse gets to play... August was spent editing Cross Country magazine, which meant a lot of work on the computer. Everyone is in different countries and time zones, which makes putting a magazine together trickier... Compared to working on the web, which is so mechanical, creating magazines feels much more involved.
The cover of a magazine for example, including this one of Pal Takats tumbling in the Alps, takes days to put together, from selection to completion. Online, processing this sort of photo would take a few minutes of rapid assessment and work... Print really has started to feel like another, quieter age. Despite that, I hope it lasts a long, long time - there's nowhere better to showcase photography, or proper, involved reporting and feature writing.
