In Salgado's pictures: empathy, meaning and truth

» Gaze at any of Sebastião Salgado's photographs and overwhelming emotion washes over you. The hauntingly magnificent black-and-white photos, which at times punch you right in the gut, depict the best and worst of the planet we live on. From the bleak mud-covered miners climbing hell-like pits of the Serra Pelada gold mine in Brazil to petroleum-soaked workers in the war-torn oilfields of Kuwait, to the sun-kissed mountain ranges of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska -- Salgado's work possesses qualities many photographers today seem to have forgotten about in this image-saturated world: empathy, meaning, truth.
