I heard yesterday that RS is paying him $30,000 each for four stories a
year on contract.  No wonder he can afford Leicas.  .  And he has raised
$6.5 mil to fund his work on migrations.  Lets hope he doesn't have any
cloned donkeys painted like zebras crossing the Mexico/US border.  : )  

Part of the complaint of Salgado's enormous funding ($1mil from Kodak
alone) is that it robs other less celebrated documentary shooter of
support.
