A mother and her daughter are hurled off a collapsing fire-escape in an apartment house fire. Together with a fire-fighter, they waited for the rescue ladder to reach them. As the fire-fighter climbed onto the ladder, the fire-escape collapsed under their feet and they fell to the ground five floors below. The woman was killed but the child survived, her fall cushioned by the woman’s body.

Sebastiao reading his Sumo size book Genesis by Taschen
Genesis Exhibition at the London Natural History Museum
The look in the eyes of the Seals, the brutality of the life of the miners, the intoxicating beauty of our natural world The Patanal, The Okavongo Delta, the dunes of Namibia and the incredible lives of the tribes from Siberia to Java Indonesia that live the same way for thousands of years. God do I live in a bubble in London.
These images just stir so many emotions in me, amazement, respect, sadness, anger, love but mostly awareness thanks to the courageous and humanitarian “photo-god” Sebastiao Salgado.
The love and sensitivity this man has for this planet has been recorded in many photo essays and books ,some of the images I choose are from "Workers" on labour all over the world , “Migrations” on the displacement of people due to famine and war and now Sumo sized Genesis is “ My Love Letter to the Planet” a project that took Sebastiao into a journey of 9 years and over 30 journeys of trekking, canoeing, ballooning and travelling to the ends of the earth to visually connect us back into our planet, its tribes and its beauty that is still here.
“ We need to recover our instincts, to learn more about nature”
" I wanted to give others the opportunity to see the nature of a pristine planet “
I wish I could make these pictures bigger as you can only skim the surface of their power here. Luckily the Natural History Museum in London is showing a retrospective of Genesis until the 8th of September 2013.
Otherwise you can get The Collectors Edition of the Sumo sized Genesis designed and edited by Salgados wife Lelia Wanick Salgado published by Taschen and also a custom made bookstand designed Legendary Japanese Architect Tadao Ando.
There is more information on the websites below of other work and books. A lot to read and learn.
Thank you for bringing us back the wonders of that still exists in our world. May they always be here for generations to come..

Keeper of Cameras.
I met Nicholas while exploring London.
A Macedonian immigrant and hidden gem with a large collection of film cameras waiting to be woken from their slumber.
This was one of many rooms spilling with antiques and collectibles.
Friendly, passionate and knowledgeable about all things classic.
One of the most genuine experiences I had while traveling in the city.
Next time you find yourself navigating the streets of London be sure to stay alert. You may find yourself having a friendly conversation in an analog archive.
