From NPR: New Sebastiao Salgado Exhibit in NY

Thanks Brian, great link. And a fascinating photographer. I was not grabbed by Exodus but this later work, and especially Genesis, I find both impressive and fascinating. Having watched a few presentations by him really makes you understand how sincere and engaged he is.
 
I'm a fan of the man and want to be a fan of his photography but there is something about his work I find unattractive. Hard to articulate this but it has something got to do with the perfection of his work. Too perfect almost to the extent of being unreal and the second last of the shots featured exemplify this for me.
Went to see Genesis in London and was not converted:(
Great post Brian.
