After Paris the exhibition that the book is based on is touring. If it comes
anywhere near your neck of the woods go to see it. To be surrounded by the
photographs is a completely different experience from looking at them in a
book. Salgado's 'Migrations' had the same effect for me.

I know it is no longer chic to idolize H.C.-B., but having perused the new
book, I would challenge any photographer I know to do the same and then go
out and do something original!  Ask yourself if your pictures have any
narrative content, anything approaching mystery, surprise and delight, or if
they make any statement which hasn't been stated by someone else better and
before.
