Hey, Bob - What can you say about the photographs, as a photographer or
a concerned human being, other than....OH.....MY......GOD.......;-)


And, in line with my stupid "talk amongst your selves" 'better, best'
posting of last week some time...

After watching the show, pouring through my Salgado books, pouring
through my HCB books....Guys, I know this is a big like saying to a
believing Christian that JC isn't the son of God....But I have come to
believe that Salgado is without question a better photographer than
HCB...Yes, HCB was there first...and, yes, without HCB it is doubtful
there would be a Salgado...but in terms of what Salgado can do with a 35
mm camera and film, both technically and "artistically" - I don't see
any comparison...

And now I'll get back to scanning last weekend's wedding photos...;-)
