[HUG ] Re: ebay

Nice to have a signed copy, Michael.
Yes, he is a great talent and has great humanism. I heard him speak and show slides in Sydney some years ago about getting close and gaining trust in his subjects. I feel sure he would use a Hasselblad apart from stuff like that!?
As a biologist, I know the destruction of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil has been massive, if not as well known as that of the much bigger Amazon. So if somehow lots of millions fell in my lap (lottery?) and I was absolutely convinced that his project is very effective, then I might buy the cameras as a donation to the cause, because I would be looking to fund some natural stuff anyway. Otherwise... 

I do think adding $38 postage is a bit rich after spending $128 000!

A dedicated and amazing photographer who has labored unceasingly on behalf of humanity. Years ago I purchased his book "An Uncertain Grace" at a show of his work. I walked up to Salgado, introduced myself and he graciously signed my book. 

At $128,700, I'll pass on the Leica set though good cause or not.

The ebay post was not meant as spam, it was meant to be educational. A well known photographer selling his cameras to reforest a Brazillian rain forest I thought was worth passing on. My intent was not trying to sell it but to inform. Who would pay 128,000 for a camera, how crazy is that. That is more than I payed for my house lol. In the past I have also tried to post links to Myspace where I have my digipics posted, did not know that I could not do that. I have seen people post links to their webpages. I guess I will not be able to do that again.
