Two weeks ago, Justin and I went to the International Center of Photography to view Sebastiao Salgado’s “Genesis”. Now, I’m not usually overtly fond of viewing exhibitions of artwork. However, I was interested in this one because of the overarching theme of the exhibition, that of Nature’s untamed power. When I got to the exhibit, I was not disappointed. Salgado, on his 8 year world tour, had captured some truly powerful and remarkable images. At some photographs, I found it hard to believe that they were photos and not paintings. The images seemed unreal and invoked a sense of wonder and awe. Salgado had done an amazing job in capturing the untarnished beauty of nature and in compiling these photographs together to create a global collage. The pictures of the Bryce Canyon and Brooks range, especially, caught my eye.
