I've heard Sebastiao Salgado in interviews, and he has run a workshop in Argentina along with a person I know who would never tolerate the kind of action Rob is accusing Salgado of. In fact that workshop is based on the Missouri Photo Workshop. You fake a picture there and you're out on your ear. I've been there and done that. All the evidence I'm aware of is that Salgado is an ethical practitioner of the profession and I will not accept the smearing of his reputation without comment. And I look at his photos and see why some photographers might assume he fakes photos, but I can see talent and a drive few humans have to make the kinds of photos he does. on 11/7/03 4:21 AM, Phong at phong@doan-ltd.com wrote: > Eric, you are not reasonable. > Are you implying that we not discuss anything negative > about public figures not on the list ?
