He still has hair and a big moustache. It's far more interesting than "Spectre of Hope" for several reasons: 1. John Berger isn't in it 2. Salgado does more talking 3. You get to see Salgado at work Probably much more useful for your students. - --- Bob mailto:bob@web-options.com "If it's sunny, try f16; if it's not, try f5.6" - --Walker Evans Thursday, August 09, 2001, 5:08:51 PM, you wrote: > Who was that interviewer BTW?
