AMAZONIA | Sebastião Salgado

I was thrilled to have -serendipitously- visited the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City and immersed myself in the awe-inspiring beauty and untamed majesty of Amazônia; an extraordinary photographic odyssey by the internationally acclaimed Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado.

There's an NPR article (2022) on it. 

"A native of Brazil, Salgado has made more than 58 trips to Amazonia. His photos depict lush tropical trees, dramatic clouds, the sinuous river, as well as the biodiversity of the jungle. The 78-year-old photographer says he flew with the Brazilian military over some of the most inaccessible areas to capture them with his camera.

One of his quotes: "If you take a picture of a human that does not make him noble, there is no reason to take this picture. That is my way of seeing things."

Here are some of the photographs I gawked at in the exhibition.
