I remember when I first saw the mining photos from Brazil, I was astonished. I thought they were from some time gone by, only to learn how current they were.
This isn't a comment on the quality, it was the content. The conditions seemed to be something from the 19th century.
Salgado managed to portray incredible cruelty and suffering while still capturing (creating?) art.

My new PC, has none of my work on it. I lost all the scans when the last PC recently died. Did you want me to find a snap of Sharona (Kiron Kitten) and post it?

Sure, Russ. When you're not too busy washing her car. I used to call it "putting up shelves."

Actually, with the new PC, starting a RFF gallery should be no problem. The old PC had a "cookie" problem, or something like that. So it would block me from entering the RFF site. Used to always tell me that I wasn't a member. It did this on many sites. Even my own! Besides, I figured you all kinda liked not having my snaps posted in the discussion forum 😀 . I figured you'd all appreciate the reprieve from my humor and snaps...

I apologize for the crappy scan, but here's a snap of the Kiron Kitten (Sharona). As we usually do during breaks in street shooting, we are rehydrating ourselves with focusing fluid.

Salgado truly is a master. I wish I had the commitment, the interest in humanity, and the skills he has. I have the urge, though, and some project ideas but I'll never attain his level of mastery. Hats off and a big cheer for the master!

Don't think that way. If we can dream it, we can achieve it. The oldest cosmic law in the universe is , "what we hold in our thoughts, comes true in our experience." You are capabl;e of just about anything. It may take some effort and time though...

I was recently looking for Salgado's book Migrations and found that it was hard to get in hardback and maybe the publisher had ended the print run. One camera book dealer was charging $125 for the book. By accident I stumbled across the book at the publisher's web site and it is available for $80 there, a 20% discount on the retail price.

Boy this weird, I picked up Salgado's "Migrations" yesterday at a used book store . The dust cover was pretty worn and torn in the corners, but the book itself is in excellent condition. It is the original hardback from Aperture and I paid $12.00 for it.

Are you mixing your meds with your focusing fluid again? As for Salgado, get his "An Uncertain Grace" an incredible book. Better than Migrations. "Sahel" is also very good.

Russ, you're right. I need to do my mantras more... Om mani padme hum.... But, I'm not much of a people person, certainly not to the level Salgado is (or some of the members here on RFF). I prefer people at a distance or as props in my scenes, but I feel very uncomfortable to get close to them. My family(-in-law) is a different matter, though. 🙂
An Uncertain Grace is fabulous. I find Salgados photos full of humanity yet gripping to the point of being painful. I can only pick it up once in a while or I might get depressed by the state much of humankind is in.
