I found 'Children' to have excellent but somewhat sentimental images but 'Migration' and 'Terra' are on the shopping list for future purchase. My wife was in a generous mood and bought 'Workers' for me, but I find the price of Salgado books prohibitive which restricts my purchases (this one was £45/$72) - ----- Original Message ----- From: Guy Bennett <guybnt@idt.net> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: 05 April 2000 00:02 Subject: [Leica] new salgado books > lugfolk, > > just wanted to say that yesterday afternoon, i saw at the local > artbookstore two new books by salgado: 'migrations' and 'children.' large > format, beautifully printed editions of his work. > > the first deals with the forced 'migrations' of peoples around the world, > whether fleeing famine, war, opression, etc., and the second presents a > series of portraits of the children of those regions. > > the books are beautifully done, the photographs typical of his outstanding > work. a note on the copyright page simply states that the photos were taken > with leica r and m cameras. > > guy
