"Filmikonen - Magnum Photos und das Kino"
A documentary on ARTE.tv, available in German or French, on demand. Interesting piece on the early years of the Magnum agency. I have the ARTE app in German on my phone which I can stream to Chrome (in the UK). Even if you can't follow in German or French, the pictures alone are worth a look. Just four days left in on demand.

The documentary about Magnum was really interesting. Thanks for pointing it out, Klaus.

Yes, I saw that when I was surfing the 'net at lunchtime.  If I can swing it, it's either Steve McCurry's or Eve Arnold's that I'd be going for - which is weird as I tend to go for B&W 95% of the time.

Can't go wrong with a glamor shot of Marilyn.  I had looked at photos on that site in the past but they were all way out of my budget.  I'll have to find a spot for Miles next to my record player.

 Thanks’ for the heads-up!


I bought a few of the 6x6" prints last time around - cool thing of Magnum to do, hope they do a 24x24" @ $200 next time 
As for their definition of "museum quality" prints, don´t hold your breath. They are not bad but with a half decent paper you would get just as good prints on the office printer. I now wake up to Martin Parr and Paul Fusco so no complaints!
