  Love Magnum and the work of your guests -- technical question -- is it necessary to gather names of subjects, as is the practice in the US? If so, does that add difficulty to the job?

  Why blow smoke up these Magnum peoples' you know whats? Why not ask some critical questions about what they are doing? Or why not talk about the limitations of photography. Or the context in which their iconic photographs appear- in magazines along side advertisements for diamond rings... Please first assume their work is garbage and make them earn it.

  MAGNUM!

  The name reminds me of the famous gun in the movie Taxi Driver. Ironically photographers "shoot" pictures & MAGNUM photographers do the same thing with a little different approach maybe. We are now in an age that everybody can point & shoot a picture... Most of these works are garbage but there are great digital photographers that ARE NOT members of MAGNUM & they maybe don't need to pass these MAGNUMian tests to become a member. I do respect MAGNUM & its legacy but personally I like the poetic side of photography. I think MAGNUM policy will change in the coming years because the technology is enabling enthusiast photographers to own their own artistic world without necessarily needing to belong to any group...
