[Leica] Sebastiao Salgado passed away

[Lluis Ripoll]

Peter,

I’m totally agree with your comment, I had the privilege to meet him with a group of photographers when he came to Barcelona to pay tribute to his friend Joan Guerrero, a great person and catalan photographer who has passed away a few days ago. His speech was a lesson in humanity that we should all remember, unforgettable.

Cheers
Lluis
