“In “Genesis," my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.”~ Sebastião Salgado There was a time when we lived in equilibrium with nature, when we respected the earth and our fellow animals before we killed them in pursuit of our so-called “development” and “progress” and “economic prosperity."This is what Sebastião’s epic body of work “Genesis” showed us. We have managed as a species to destroy over half of the world’s natural resources and these images are a subtle wake up call for us to save the remaining half before it is too late.Photos in themselves cannot save the world but they can, at the very least, foster the discussion.
