[Leica] Salgado - Genesis

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

Finally got along to the Salgado "Genesis" Exhibition which got its world
premier at the Natural History Museum in London in April. Kept meaning to 
find
the time, but...

Quite remarkable and thoroughly to be recommended to anyone who is 
interested in
anything from landscape photography to people/ethnography. The prints are
stunning (Ilford Galerie Gold) done in Paris (forget now by whom) with superb
depth and gradation of tonality. Some obviously on larger format and some
looking like hand-held Leica or similar.

Beautiful images speaking volumes about the man and his empathy with The 
Earth
and those of its people who inhabit the wildernesses. For those of us who 
can't
get, or don't get, to the wildernesses (other than Brussels!) it is a real
eye-opener.

I know that it is not Stateside, but if you are in London and have a couple 
of
hours (200-odd images) it is well worth it.
