I get that - and they are lovely portraits. I was just responding to the
lovely v. tough. My feeling is always that I want to see the reality I'm
being asked to help improve. But my guess is that lovely may, in fact,
attract more donations, eliciting lots of 'Awwwwws,' rather than
'ohmigod's. ;-) And regardless of what I think of the two Salgado books
I mentioned, I'd also be willing to bet that the children's portrait
book is his most 'popular' work.

Thanks, B.D.  I always appreciate your comments.  I explained to the 
audience that this year's show was more light-hearted than usual and 
included lots of funny photos of former travelers (I didn't include
those 
on the web site.  They are funnier if you know the people involved.)
We'll 
see if humor attracts more donations than sympathy!
