Yes he does, Ms and Rs.

Scan the archives for "Salgado," check out past discussions, and throw us
any questions for which you didn't find an answer.

I'd be happy to go back and hit the Salgado books for any info not yet

Happy hunting.

aestheticize the often horrendous conditions in which his subjects live he
responded that and I quote a beautiful image communicates better than an
ugly one. End quote.
