be aware that every person out there with a digital camera is your direct competition, and the quality of your work isn’t really a huge selling factor. Obviously you have to be good at what you do, but most people don’t know what a good picture is – as long as it’s in focus and has a lot of color people think it’s fantastic. A good example is MSNBC.com’s Week in Pictures (which is great, by the way). The picture with the most votes is consistently the cute one, or the one with the most color – not necessarily the one that took the most photographic skill to produce.

‘I had a number of topics and ideas that I wanted to photograph and I tried to put myself in the situations to make those images, but it was all un-posed for, with the exception of a couple of portraits. Even those were made in the scene that I saw them’.

This was my main aim when I decided to quit my job at the Associated Press. I wanted to go back to taking pictures and telling the stories of people whose lives had changed forever because of the war, especially the 2006 summer one. In a way I wanted to tell my own story with the war, during which, the country was packed with local and international media covering the daily events, but then few weeks after the war ended, they all packed their stuff and went back home to rest, while I stayed at the office working, of course with other local colleagues and very few international photographers who came each for few weeks.

I happen to think there was a wide-range of photography represented and far more surprises than one would find in most publications. There are photo festivals that focus on much more traditional documentary work but that’s not what the New York Photo Festival is trying to do.
The Dutch photographers shared a similar analog ethos as well as an enthusiasm for doing work that is extremely personal to them, and important for the public to appreciate. But most important about the Dutch photographers was their DIY sensibility that told photographers not to wait for editors and publishers to find their work but to go out there and make it themselves.
