What is Magnum?

"Magnum is a community of thought, a shared human quality, a curiosity about what is going on in the world, a respect for what is going on and a desire to transcribe it visually."

They are all excellent, but some of my favorites are Elliott Erwitt, Alex Webb, Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Jim Goldberg, Alex Majoli, Abbas, Christopher Anderson, and Steve McCurry, just to name a few.
