First two working days at Magnum Photos

My first two days at Magnum went realy well. Got introduced to the staff members, met all the interns (which by the way are quite a lot), got familiar with the office space and set up my place for work.
We originaly intended to work on a desk in the middle of the archives as previously mentioned. Since this space will be needed for someone else and the "In Motion" department wanted to stay together for better communication we set up a new desk in the main office space.
Great place to be since we will be working in the middle of the place where everything comes together. And my view is directly lead to a wonderful color print of Alex Webb and a black and white print from Bruce Gilden among others. You can actually see this one print of Bruce Gilden here.
I am very much looking forward to my stay at Magnum Photos. Everyone seems to be realy friendly and the best of all: Everyone seems to realy have a deep passion for photography. Magnums office is such an inspirational place to be surrounded by good spirits, great people and photographies whether hanging on the walls, stored in the archive or displayed in books.

Too dark photos on this Photoblog

I'd also like to mention something regarding my own photographies displayed on this Photoblog: I got some notes that the pictures here are much to dark. I looked at this site on a screen at the Magnum office today and they've been displayed as kind of a black soup. Of course this is not my intention since they look completely different on my screen. Of course there are wide differences in the way photographies are displayed on different screens but these differences are way to big. I will have to locate the problem and figure out how to do a workaround.
