But, photography books in general tend to be obscenely pricey. Thanks, however, to the internet there are numerous photography and multimedia websites you can browse and learn more if you are interested.

Still, every now and then it’s nice to buy a hard copy of a book by a photographer you like.. and in my case, I was thrilled to find Sebastião Salgado‘s “Workers” yesterday in one of Berkeley’s bookstores at a very generous discount rate.

Workers عمال

This book is a jewel. It’s actually one of my dreams to put together one day a project like that about the Egyptian working class, whose visual history is rarely documented.

By Salgado

Some quotes by Salgado:

“The picture is not made by the photographer, the picture is more good or less good in function of the relationship that you have with the people you photograph.”

“You photograph with all your ideology.”
