Everything has been done-it's something I found time and time again over the years. At the NYT we would often gripe about reporters redoing stories (and us subsequently re-shooting it) time and time again.) But as far as projects, subjects or ideas, realize that you have a unique eye and an original perspective on it, and most likely a strong personal vision that you will bring to your project that no one else will. <BR/><BR/>I'm a music fan and can't tell you how many versions of jazz, blues, rock and roll or country standards that I have and appreciate all of the different takes on them (I just bought the Smithereens album of early Beatles covers-good stuff– and have been watching the American documentary "Jazz" but Ken Burns). Paul's book that he showed us was wonderful and original, and I'm sure he's aware of all of the other projects and books to come out on his subject matter. The same could be said about Tim's work, Homer's or Ed Kashi's-but they all brought a unique perspective.<BR/><BR/>With my project, an amateur photographers here in Maputo did a project on the local beaches along the Marginal, self-published a book, made posters and post cards, and held a couple of exhibitions at galleries, but it didn't phase me because I came to terms long ago since it was often a mantra in photo staffs that I worked on that 'everything's been done' as people would often say when there was worry of duplication. In the end, my perspective was much different and in-depth with a different angle (not to mention simply better pictures) and I didn't hesitate to continue.<BR/><BR/>I like what you've done and hope you continue.
