A tribute worthy of Selgado. Thank you for taking the time to compose this. This is my favorite quote from those you shared" “If you take a picture of a human that does not make him noble, there is no reason to take this picture.” I had a multi-year homelessness project, and this was always my goal; it was critical to my interactions and outcomes.

Thank you Aaron. That's a practice that's in every portrait I take, and will champion until the end of my days. Love hearing it's part of your process as well. Thank you for sharing.

It's a beautiful tribute. I know so many of Sebastião Salgado’s archives. He was indeed a great soul and a great photographer.
