Not Your Usual Leica

The Leica camera company has donated one of its M7 cameras with the  
production number of 3,000,000 to Sebasti?o Salgado, 61, the Paris- 
based Brazilian photographer, to honor his work on humanitarian and  
environmental themes. At a ceremony in Paris on Wednesday, Leica also  
endorsed Mr. Salgado's decision to auction the camera, three lenses  
and an aluminum case to raise money for the Instituto Terra, a  
reforestation project in Brazil initiated by Mr. Salgado and wife,  
Llia Wanick Salgado. The auction will be held at Leica's store in  
Vienna on Nov. 5. ALAN RIDING
