I don't think you comparing your work to his is appropriate, nor do I think taking orders from a school of portraits of poor children under the banner of internationalism appropriate. I'm sure that if he were given a brief of internationalism he wouldn't work within such a limited sphere, Salgado didn't in workers even though he portrays indentured and child labour in Rajasthan, he also covers the Eastern Bloc, plus the United Kingdom and France.
