Sebastião Salgado

DateWednesday, February 12, 2014 at 06:49PM

       Here’s a short slideshow of seveteen photographs taken by one of our species finest human beings: Sebastião Salgado.  Born and raised in Brazil, Salgado obtained his PhD in Economics in France and worked for investment banks that help financed development projects in Africa.  He then turned to photography, capturing some of the most haunting images of modern man and humanity to have ever been produced in a dark room.  After witnessing the horrors of the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, Salgado took a break from photography and returned to Brazil where he restored deforested land, started the Instituto Terra, and opened a National Park.  He returned to photography in 2004, this time focusing on non-human animals, and is now fighting to save the world's trees.  If you want to feel bad about how little you’ve done in your life, check out his inspiring TED Talk.
