It seems that these young photographers are very concerned about controlling their art and less concerned about the amount of people whom it reaches. If you’re working for social change and rely only on the parts of the medium where you can have the most control (print, books and galleries) don’t you ignore the ability to reach many, many more people on the web?

So who is more important, the viewer or the photographer? Bob Sacha

      who goes to art galleys = rich white people……..who reads newspapers and magazines = My Dad, your Mum and most people over 30…………who use’s the internet = every bloody one

      Sure galleys give you control over your images, but what’s the point if only 50 people look at them.
