I'm not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but in the Life magazine "Best 
Magazine Photography of the Year" issue, Sebsatiao Salgado received the 
"Legend Award".  There are reproductions of a bunch of his photos where 
the section appears in the back of the magazine.

What is also interesting is that there are two Leica ads--one for the M6 
(chrome, w/35mm Summilux ASPH), and one for the R8 (w/80 Summilux)--on 
pages facing his photos.  In light of the continuing M6 improvement 
thread, the text on top is rather interesting.  It reads: "Because less 
is often much more" and the first line of what's below: "As a serious 
photographer, you don't need electronic gadgetry.  It simply gets in the 
way."
 
I think that it is the first time I've ever seen an M6 advertised in a 
magazine, actually.
