I must admit it is very difficult for me to find the right words to describe which photographs we prefer in Blur magazine. Although visually I know what I want and what not exactly, it is hard to put this into words. One thing is sure – we do not want to follow the mainstream and become boring and predictable, both in the selection of photographers and their work and when it comes to magazine question itself. As a big supporter of individualism and uniqueness, it would be easiest to say that I prefer simplicity. Meaning, we look for those photographs that can easily be connected to a certain artist, as they carry their personal and recognizable mark.
I could try presenting this uniqueness as a reflection of creativity, imagination, highly esthetic taste and intellect of the person that stands behind the camera. Therefore the attempt to capture something in an ordinary, unoriginal, unimaginative way that has been seen so many times before is not what impresses me.
On the other hand, sometimes it is very hard to judge because the visual appearance of photography can easily fool and seduce, so that I simply ignore everything said above and decide to publish it. Selection is a subjective process, led by inner impulses and feelings.
Finally, I am constantly looking for originality, creativity, style and lots of other elements that are joined together in unique ratios. Some authors succeed here more, some less, as some photographs leave stronger or weaker impression on readers.
Surrounded by beautiful photographs in different places, I sometimes do not have the time or patience to wait if we get the photographs I wish to publish. Therefore, when I see an interesting photograph, wanting to show it to a wider audience, I do not hesitate to contact the author himself/herself and ask him/her for permission to publish it. I sincerely hope that soon the day will come when we will receive sufficient photographs worth admiring and that I will no longer have the need to contact anybody, leading to growth of Gallery 24 to Gallery 28
