Happy Birthday, Sebastião Salgado! If there was ever someone who could capture people's deepest emotions without needing an Instagram filter—it's surely you. Your exceptional projects like "Migrations," "Genesis," and "Sahel: The End of the Road" have brilliantly illustrated humanity's resilience and struggle.We'd raise a toast to your incredible talent for transforming real-world struggles into visual poetry, but we'll settle for taking snapshots with cake crumbs on our lenses instead. Here's hoping that this year continues to bring recognition equal to your spectacular adventures behind the lens—and fewer blurry selfies from clueless admirers!
Cheers—in perfect black-and-white clarity—to another phenomenal trip around the sun!
