Salgado owes more to W. Eugene Smith than to HOB. It was Smith who developed the photo essay and who worked with themes, as Salgado does. I think that Salgado had some involvement with Smith at one time, but the details are unclear. I know Bob Walkden and I discussed this point a few months ago. - -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:belinkoff@earthlink.net "Why should I use a meter?
