I think we're going to have to disagree on this one. I _am_ surprised that
you call him a dullard because of what he photographs.

He's technically good at putting an image on paper, (composition,
tonality, etc); but as a thinker that determines what he photographs and
why, he's a dullard. Salgado is a good compositionist, but he's a poor
social philosopher. Are they one and the same? I don't think so.
