Todays Magnum In Motion Meeting

To give you a better insight into my work at Magnum Photos I am posting some photos of todays weekly meeting of the Magnum In Motion team.
Magnum In Motion is a department of Magnum Photos found about a year ago in New York City. The Magnum In Motion team is responsible for all kinds of New Media work within Magnum. Its focus lies on digital storytelling. To give you a good example of what our teams does you might want to take a look at the last online-feature Magnum In Motion did. It's a multimedia story with photographs and comments by Magnum photographer Philip Jones Griffiths about Vietnam at Peace. It was published on the websites of "The New York Times" and the "International Herald Tribune". A really interesting and worthwhile experience.
Our team (in which I feel rather integrated already) works on more very, very interesting projects. Unfortunately I can, at this point, not give any details on them... The competitors could read this blog as well... :-)

The pictures above show our weekly meeting in which we discuss queued to do's for the week. The first picture shows Claudine Boeglin, Bjarke "BJ" Myrthu and another intern (well the back of him) Guillaume. We are holding this meetings in the backoffice area of the office which is also a nice place to sit down, drink a coffee or eat your lunch.
The folders which can be seen in the background contain some of the probably most interesting things in the office. All contact sheets of the photographers which belong to the New York City office of Magnum. Kind of a magical ressource.
