Sebastiao Salgado: A Conversation

By LR admin | Published: April 13, 2009

Who is Sebastiao Salgado? I will just say that his Leica M7 camera set is currently selling on ebay for US $130,680.00:

“Salgado uses three Leica cameras. Most of the time he uses 28mm, 35mm and 60mm lenses (one for each camera body). He uses black-and-white Tri-X film. In low-light situations and indoors he uses T-Max 3200 film, which precludes the need for flash. He does not develop his own film but has a friend do it for him. He does most of his own printing but sometimes calls upon friends to help in this darkroom work also”.

Some of his work can be seen here. Here are some slideshows:

More on the white Leica M8 limited edition

By LR admin | Published: April 8, 2009

I got my hands on an internal memo regarding the white limited edition Leica M8 – coming on April 20th. Click on image for larger picture (2 images):

I am a little bit troubled by the final count of this “white edition” M8 – in the above document it says “the final number will be fixed according to the success of the Marketing and PR activities”. Fixed? This doesn’t sound good, but maybe it is a common practice.
