The Sebastião Salgado Project

As many of you know, I am just beginning my freshman year at Brigham Young University. In my writing class, our focus will be on refugees and the deep problems that they face in our world today. We will be learning about and studying the many refugee situations, with an emphasis on Sebastião Salgado and his work as a social photographer and photojournalist. He has travelled to many a country and photographed the refugees in great detail. He has seen things that are both touching and greatly disturbing. He has been an integral part of bringing awareness about the subject. Our study of his work and refugees in general are what this blog is dedicated to. I am looking forward to this journey that we'll be taking together, as we study and read about one of the world's biggest issues, and maybe along the way, we can find some way to help.
