Jonas Bendiksen on Magnum Photos
Jonas Bendiksen writes about his experience as an intern in Magnum Photos before eventually become one of the member himself:
“I made coffee for thirsty staff members, filed away returns (this was in the pre-digital age), answered phone calls, made tea for staff members, filed away more pictures, and ran to the post office. [...]
Looking back, I always think that simply being around the office, absorbing the tremendous creative energy of this prolific group of photographers and personalities taught me more than I’d ever learn if I went and got a bachelors degree in photography.”
