SB> I've seen Salgado's prints. I don't know off hand what the dimensions are SB> for A1, although iirc, they are quite large. His prints that measure 24 x SB> 36 or so are outstanding in terms of quality and tonality, even when viewed SB> close up.
A4 is similar to legal size, and A1 is eight times legal size. So it would be around 24x36" print, yes. The tonality was indeed exquisite. Especially the highlights, with a subtle glow but still holding many details. Especially in metal or glistening human skin. He has some damn good printers :) Of course his photographs would IMO stand out even if not so well printed, but seeing such good B&W work is great. And even my non photographic friends I took to the exhibition (I was there today once more <g>) noticed the prints to be good, which says a lot. SB> The format of the show is most interesting. Bring the photos to the people! Yes, I liked that a lot. And it brought some people who wouldn't go to a gallery otherwise. Of course there was a tight selection to pack the workers into just few wagons, so some of my most favourite photographs from this series (I have the book) weren't there, but it was very strong nevertheless. SB> Perhaps some day you'll get to meet the man and hear him speak. I was SB> lucky enough to see him twice ... he's a very commanding presence for SB> someone so small and soft spoken in his physicality. I was quite sad that I missed the vernisage. Friends who were there told me it was great. But I was documenting a very interesting event, so it wasn't so bad :) SB> Thanks for posting this! SB> BTW, I've seen some of his Genesis work - effin' amazing! Definitely. Do you know if more of his work from Genesis series is available to view at least on the web somewhere? I think some of it was printed in Guardian, so in their archives? Thanks Frantisek
