Sebastiao Salgado

ART ALERT! The absolutely coolest photojournalism work to ever exist (which could in no way be considered a hyperbole) - will be exhibited at the Austin Museum of Art beginning tomorrow!

Now, normally I spend most of my free time concocting metaphors to explain how much I hate the AMoA (watching an episode of Rosanne next to someone with bad gas). However, the work of Sebastiao Salgado merits the trip. He is a master of combining photojournalism and art. And he traveled around the globe to document the plight of the less privledged. He’s basically the David Hasselhoff of photography.

Speaking of which, why doesn’t anyone hire to me to do this photography?

Yum-o!

Yum-o!
