Yes Bob,

Salgado certainly wields a camera with a conscience!

In the midst of his work depicting the struggles of existence the third world I also find his pictures of the capping of the oil wells in Iraq after the first Gulf War to be masterworks. I am not sure if sandra has any on view but I shall be popping over this arvo to find out first hand.
