Sunt mii, daca nu zeci de mii de fotografi in Romania! Sunt sute de mii de pasionati de fotografie in Romania, care au impresia ca „fac” fotografii bune! Sunt cativa fotografi profesionisti in Romania care, foarte siguri pe ei – se considera aproape minunati! E un singur fotograf in Romania care tipareste si vinde carti, cu motive majoritar romanesti, si din care traieste regeste! Mai exista alti cativa fotografi care isi materializeaza excursiile estetice in albume, spre deliciul publicului cititor.
Oare cati dintre toti fotografii de mai sus se gandesc sa tipareasca o carte? Oare cati stiu ca o imagine vizualizata pe computer se numeste fisier digital, nu fotografie?! Oare cati dintre voi au impresia ca valoarea imaginii – din punct de vedere tehnic si estetic – poate fi observata si pe monitor, indiferent de setari, de calibrare, de spectrul de culoare? Multi aveti aceasta impresie, nu-i asa?
Oare cati fotografi din Romania, profesionisti sau amatori – si-ar dori o carte, a lor, care sa fie prezenta pe rafturi la Carturesti, sau Humanitas, sau Bastilia…?
Viena va cheama sa va satisfaca o parte din viziune, daca o aveti, desigur. Viena va cheama la Photo Book Festival sa va arate ce se intampla in domeniul publicatiilor foto, cu accent pe noutatile editoriale.
Pana la Viena merge trenul, va recomand cuseta. Viena insasi merita o vizita!
Stiu ca nu majoritatea din Romania nu isi doresc – conform statisticilor oficiale – nici macar sa citeasca o carte pe an, dar mi-te sa creeze una! Dar poate va biciuti orgoliul, daca aveti talent, si va propuneti anul acesta sa scoateti o carte care sa va reprezinte: stilul fotografic, personalitatea, viziunea.
Ce ziceti?
Sunt curios: oare cati dintre voi veti accesa macar pagina Festivalului, ca de mers…
