Hello Allan,

Could you please explain? What exactly is an "illustrative-propagandist
style"? If you can put that aside and like his images, is this an
illustration of the "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" saying?
How would you illustrate the subjects pictured by Salgado? In what style?
Do you think the "illustrative-propagandist style" is present throughout his
work or did you have particular images in mind. What message do you think
Salgado is trying to get through with his pictures?

Tarek (having trouble with labels ;-)
