[Leica] OKCLUG Goes To Salgado Movie

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I would like to buy the DVD. I went to his "Genesis" show in London a
couple of years ago, and was frankly underwhelmed by the prints - they were
totally over processed, and in my view, mangled beyond reason for maximum
drama.
Cheers
Jayanand
