The images are stunning.
i have looked at the book "Genesis".
Last year here in Toronto,saw 2 exhibitions.
One with huge prints(from film) the rest digital.
Many with a strange (for me) look.
These were the digital.
I like digital,but not with that excessive photoshop.
On monitors it is really hard to see.
Look at Ragnar Axelson (Axelsson ?)
He is all film.Oh he made changes in new print book..😀
I am amazed at his "drive" as we are exact same age!
OK he is a few hours younger..
We chatted a few seconds at another show.
Once more an amazing, stunning epic.

There's a brilliant interview with him in Berger's Understanding A Photograph.

The best camera is one that still works!

Oh, this is about Genesis! I've developed an obsession with his photo books and thought I needed to quickly order a new one that's been published.
Yeah, I like his work.

I have "Genesis," the version that is somewhat affordable anyway, and I found the work from the Antarctica and the Arctic the best by far in that book. Stunning photographs.
There is a clear distinction between film and digital work and I can only assume that it is even more obvious in large exhibition prints.
I wrote a short review of that book on my blog if anybody cares: http://bojanfurst.com/?p=2634
Cheers.

I'm a fan of Salgado's work, but in my humble opinion Genesis does not have the same caliber of his previous works.
Not only that his RAW files are badly processed, but more importantly he started this project when digital camera did not have the dynamic range of today's cameras, and most importantly he shot with Canon, which until today lags far behind Nikon and Pentax in DR capability.
If you compare Genesis with his other works, you can clearly see the difference. While I'm no fan of film vs. digital debate, in this case Salgado should have stuck to using film, because his whole style was based on the capability of Trix -- changing horse in the middle of the river, with his last important project was a mistake. Unless of course some other wonder software comes around and his Genesis work is processed again and sold in a new edition - more money for everyone.

I've found 'Genesis' to be simply wonderful. Nothing against him using digital, film or charcoal, or whatever he wants - I don't mind. Incredible work and eye nevertheless. The only thing I don't like about the book is how big images are printed across two pages, it doesn't work too well.
I've seen all these photos (or a large selection?) in Rome, on the walls of a gallery - totally butt-kicking experience.

The oldest trick in photography is that if you print big, even boring photos can be impressive.

Totally agree with the poor digital look.
i like digital but not when compared to film at it's best,
digital in it's earlier learning curve for Salgado.
I am amazed that the batteries worked!
I think Salgado had taken too long on project,
costs becoming an issue..

No highlights were harmed in the shooting of this snow.

Not only there are no highlight detail and texture on the snow but skin tones lack any texture as well.
