ok it's almost 5 in the morning here.. so that might be the reason why i can't find eugene richards any more on magnum, except his advertising portfolio which i'm assuming will disappear as well in some time :((((

if he leaves magnum as well.. i wouldn't really find the magnum website anymore.. ( atleast thats what i feel at the moment)..

is anybody tracking him by any chance??
mark???

Odd, I just check their site and couldn't find his profile/name anymore under their photographer's list. This is very strange. A quick look through the net didnt turn up anything regarding him leaving the agency or switching to another agency. For now, you can still find his books on display online here <a href= "http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/TreeBTop_MAG.aspx?Stat=Menu_Books&E=A_29YL53DLWZD" >http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/TreeBTop_MAG.aspx?Stat=Menu_Books&E=A_29YL53DLWZD</a>

I'm gontta do a little more digging around and see what's going on. Maybe he's changing agencies. I think Magnum finally got to him after all these years. I know when he started out, he didn't really like the environment too much. Too much fighting, bickering, backstabbing, etc etc...

btw, here's an interesting article on Magnum's 50th meeting a few years ago. Its a pretty good read on what happened.

himark thanks for replying
i don't know if you're aware that he is also a co founder of an organisation called many voices
infact in a lot of links i've found the copyrights as eugene richards/many voices and not as eugene richards/ magnum

i've not been able to find the proper link to many voices
if you come across it, please send it to me

thanks

Here's a interview I ran across on Eugene Richards. It's a 50 minute radio (National Public Radio) broadcast. VERY good stuff and a glimpse into his life and his Fat Baby book.
