I guess he must be on a roll now. I'm fairly sure that in one of his books a few years back he writes that he averages 2000 rolls a year. >As for Salgado, he is now represented by Contact Press Images, at >least according to their web site.

A couple of reasons why the numbers of Salgado/Koudelka (like I mentioned in the reply to Ted) are so different from Wolf etc. I believe S/K wouldn't ever touch a motor or even a winder. It's just their chosen approach to shooting people. Secondly they shoot exclusively BW. A lot less reason to bracket than with color slides etc. God, I would die to see S/K contact prints. Kari
