Dear readers,
I rarely show my photos and even less I take part in photographic competitions. Shutterblues’s Copycat Contest, however, struck me. The idea behind it is unique and suggests a time of reflection that should be of interest to all photographers. Well sure I did not imagine even to be rewarded for that…
Steve Bisson
Copycat contest: #1 is Steve Bisson
Here’s what Steve says about his photo: “It is part of a project I did on a place called the Island of Deaths. A place where many people died during WWI. Now it’s a memorial…”
This is exactly what I was looking for with this little assignment. Steve’s photo changes and deepens the meaning of my photo: it’s still an island but also can be seen as a tomb, I was very moved when I received this.
Thank you Steve, my photobook is being printed by Blurb right now and will be shipping to Italy very soon I hope.
For whoever is interested in photography, Steve is executive editor of Urbanautica, a great place for “landscape photography and the human interface with the natural world”. A great source of inspiration.
