Getting into Magnum

[johnastovall]

"People ask me how to get into Magnum today, and I roll my eyes and say, 'You wouldn’t believe it.' It’s a complicated process. But in 1949, which is when I met Bob Capa, if he said your photography was kind of interesting, that was probably the key to getting in. Now it’s very Byzantine. It’s like getting into Skull and Bones. Back then it was simple."
