Innocence on the run: Sebastiao Salgado`s focus series on child migrants & refugees. In every crisis situation, children are the greatest victims. Physically weak, they are often the first to succumb to hunger, disease, & dehydration. Innocent to the workings & failings of the world, they are unable to understand why there is danger, why there are people who want to hurt them, or why they must leave, perhaps quite suddenly, & abandon their schools, their friends, & their home. In this companion series to Exodus, Sebastiao Salgado presents 90 portraits of the youngest exiles, migrants, & refugees. His subjects are from different countries, victims to different crises, but they are all on the move, & all under the age of 15. Through his extensive refugee reportage, what struck Salgado about these boys & girls was not only the implicit innocence in their suffering but also their radiant reserves of energy & enthusiasm, even in the most miserable of circumstances. From roadside refuges in Angola & Burundi to city slums in Brazil & sprawling camps in Lebanon & Iraq, the children remained children: they were quick to laugh as much as to cry, they played soccer, splashed in dirty water, got up to mischief with friends, & were typically ecstatic at the prospect of being photographed. For Salgado, the exuberance presented a curious paradox. ...

Humanity on the move: Sebastiao Salgado`s searing reportage of exiles, migrants, & refugees. It has been almost a generation since Sebastiao Salgado first published Exodus but the story it tells, of fraught human movement around the globe, has changed little in 16 years. The push & pull factors may shift, the nexus of conflict relocates from Rwanda to Syria, but the people who leave their homes tell the same tale: deprivation, hardship, & glimmers of hope, plotted along a journey of great psychological, as well as physical, toil. Salgado spent six years with migrant peoples, visiting more than 35 countries to document displacement on the road, in camps, & in overcrowded city slums where new arrivals often end up. His reportage

Includes:: Latin Americans entering the United States, Jews leaving the former Soviet Union, Kosovars fleeing into Albania, the Hutu refugees of Rwanda, as well as the first boat people of Arabs & sub-Saharan Africans trying to reach Europe across the Mediterranean sea. His images feature those who know where they are going & those who are simply in flight, relieved to be alive & uninjured enough to run. The faces he meets present dignity & compassion in the most bitter of circumstances, but also the many ravaged marks of violence, hatred, & greed.

Other Americas, originally published in France in 1986 & designed by Lelia Wanick Salgado, is Sebastiao Salgados first book. Upon publication it became an award-winning photobook classic, establishing Salgados reputation as the visionary reportage photographer of his generation. With forty-nine black-&-white photographs taken between 1977 & 1984, Salgados distilled survey of a continent

Includes:: images from Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala, & Mexico. The images range in subject, capturing spiritual & religious practices, changing rural landscapes, & intimate domestic life. Each photograph shares a sense of sincere connection between the subject & the photographer, between a population & their homel&, & between Salgado & the audience he seeks to engage. In his text, Alan Riding writes, Salgado has sought out a lost corner of the Americas & he has made it a prism through which the entire continent can be viewed. A philosophy of life is caught in a look; an entire way of life is frozen in a moment...

In the spring of 1992, Nat Philbrick was in his late thirties, living with his family on Nantucket, feeling stranded & longing for that thrill of victory he once felt after winning a national sailing championship in his youth. Was it a midlife crisis? It was certainly a watershed for the journalist-turned-stay-at-home dad, who impulsively decided to throw his hat into the ring, or water, again. With the bemused approval of his wife & children, Philbrick used the off-season on the island as his solitary training ground, sailing his tiny Sunfish to its remotest corners, experiencing the haunting beauty of its tidal creeks, inlets, & wave-battered sandbars. On ponds, bays, rivers, & finally at the championship on a lake in the heartland of America, he sailed through storms & memories, racing for the prize, but finding something unexpected about himself instead. ...
