Sebastião Salgado

As I put together this collection of images, I am reminded of how small we are in this world.  As I look at Salgado's work and each time I go back to it, everything around me, the things that consume my personal daily life, just dissipate.  Here is the magnificent and awe-inspiring work of one of my all time favorite photographers, Sebastião Salgado ...
