Join CREEP

Colin Jacobson in a interesting post about World Press Photo (I found it interesting, which means he expresses rather more eloquently some of the things I thought about it – as well as a few more novel ideas) in his first contribution to his MOG (Miserable Old Git) blog, invites us to join CREEP, the campaign for the eradication of repetitive photojournalism (not quite an acronym more an anagram with an added ‘e’)  whose mission is to “to encourage contemporary photojournalists to pledge to avoid predictable visual situations” (actually Jacobson calls it a “mission statement” but that’s a term I’m already determined should be wholly wiped off the face of the planet. Unless you are David Livingstone.)

And he starts a nice list of subjects that should be banned, inviting readers to add their own visual subject matter that should be added to the embargo. As he ends by saying, “This could all get quite enjoyable.”
