NoTxt = no captions, interesting mag

NoTxt Issue #1

Not really sure what to think of this new online magazine from Trent Nelson and Grayson West called NoTxt. After going through the site, it isn’t hard to figure out how they got their name.

Photos and art can have the ability to speak for themselves, but sometimes I’d like a little background info to go with the story. Even a little statement about the inspiration for each month’s work would suffice.

It almost seems a bit elitist for a photographer to think that his/her photos can stand up alone without any words to explain the situation. Am I missing something here?

On a positive note, I do really love many of the photos in the magazine. Those by Matt Eich and Ashley Francell really stand out.  

We’ll wait to see if things stay the same for issue #2. The deadline to submit images is June 24.
