[Leica] Salgado

["B. D. Colen" <bdcolen@earthlink.net>]

So...Did any of you watch the Salgado interview etc. last night on one
of the cable channels.....I only saw about 1/2 of the hour....Salgado's
view of what he does was fascinating...The interviewer was far too full
of himself and art-history-theory bs...and the photos were, needless to
say, magnificent.....
