ISBN#0-7710-5305-3 > http://www.straylight.ca/touchedbyfire.htm - ----------- Last year there was a large Sebastio Salgado (sp?) exhibit at our local art museum; he had several of these printed and on display there. My understanding was that it was Leica equipment he favoured as he traveled the world recording the 'working man's life' in impoverished countries and areas. I was trying to see if I had any of his work in my reference library, but can't find the stuff now. Some of those images from the 'ship salvaging' operation are world famous and amazing!
