lugfolk,

just wanted to say that yesterday afternoon, i saw at the local
artbookstore two new books by salgado: 'migrations' and 'children.' large
format, beautifully printed editions of his work.

the first deals with the forced 'migrations' of peoples around the world,
whether fleeing famine, war, opression, etc., and the second presents a
series of portraits of the children of those regions.

the books are beautifully done, the photographs typical of his outstanding
work. a note on the copyright page simply states that the photos were taken
with leica r and m cameras.
