Ken Carney and I were 50% of the first showing's audience. Nonetheless, we highly recommend it. It is not 'pretty' in that he photographed a great deal of the worst of humanity and many of those photographs are displayed in their full awful beauty, but the filmmakers (Wim Wenders and Salgado's son Juliano) try to leave you on a somewhat hopeful note. Even if they succeeded generally I am still not hopeful I'll ever be able to produce images with that tonal range and d-max. Even if I buy better cameras. --Bob
