I like it a lot. I want to have another look. But later. For now I just think of lots of fiction stories - Gulliver's Travels, Lost in Space - is that the show with the little people on a planet of giants? Crewdson's pictures of course. I think playing with notions of fiction and documentary maybe more interesting when the two are brought close together. But on the other hand, maybe not. Now that i think more about it, your telling me you are documenting something is enough to make me think about these pictures as representations of some people's real lives. Admittedly they are highly interpreted depictions. I think, call it what you want. The issue only really matters when images are used as evidence, and then how. Could you win a court case with these pictures? Could you obtain funding? Could you prove a point about anything? Will anyone find these images persuasive enough as evidence? I think that may be the question here. Certainly for the purpose of entering exhibitions and contests, I have seen this done often enough. All you need do is have an element of the work to call it by that name. I have seen printed machine made fabric called everything from textiles, to photography, to printmaking. Truly, an artist does well these days to work in hybrid forms. Maybe we should just call it all art and be done with it. The good stuff will rise to the top but at least everyone will get a fair bash at highest prize money. Very strange and interesting project. I like it a lot. I want to have another look. But later.

Is that "real" even if it was a sparsely attended event where everyone's bored and I capture the one moment where people seem interested/happy to be there? What if I color corrected a warm room to a more daylight balanced room? What if I photoshopped more people into the photo? Obviously I prefer in-camera tricks in my "purist" desires to altering the photograph by adding things that weren't there/removing. But one could argue they're all lies/not reality. HDR from a single image is ok in my book...it's the same idea as 0-5 split filter printing but thats a different topic. some would argue Monet's of the Houses of Parliament for ex is a more "accurate" documentation of it than a photograph of it would be because it "conveys mood better". Some would argue a writer's rendition of the event is more accurate. I've heard arguments like that before. Don't necessarily agree but it's an interesting argument. Even in camera with different exposure combinations, apertures, shutter speeds, focus points, we're kinda like writers and painters in that we "convey mood" with an artistic representation of what was going on at that moment. I don’t like calling this “documentary” or “real”

I saw that there are peolple complaining or surprised cause a huge percent of the finalists are former students or assistents of David workshops, readers of this blog, people who attens festivals, ecc... Come on! Din't you think that this is normal cause most probably also a huge percent of the entrants belong to the same crowd? This grant is new, so the reason why there are not African or Asian photographers in the finalists is cause probably not so many of tham are already aware of this oportunity so they did not partecipated... Spread the news also to them and you will see that years after years they will be in the finalists too! In my opinion it wuoldn't have been nice nor onest to put in the finalists someone from Africa just because he was the only partecipant from there to do "geopolitic"... I agree that there should be more grants open just to photographers from developing countries but if a grant is not like this, winners have to be choosen from the quality and doesn't matter if they all come from the same nation...
