Subject: [Leica] Salgado's new book/exhibition

Why not? 528 pages, printing as good as anything you can get, 4.2 kg
signifying good, heavy stock paper. It is an heirloom. The price seems
quite reasonable to me for the product.

This is not for me, though, as it is in the same vein as his Genesis
book/exhibition - images that are over processed to death, in the mistaken
assumption that it becomes dramatic. I did catch the Genesis exhibition at
the Natural History Museum in London - I was let down by the book, but not
nearly as much as by the exhibition. It was almost obscene, drowning in its
overprocessed muck!

Cheers
