Day 21: Sebastião Salgado


Today we worked in the morning and headed into London after lunch. In London we went to the natural history museum for a photography exhibit there. The photographer was Sebastião Salgado. The series that was being shown is named Genesis. The aim of the exhibit was for him to show the world in a primitive state, how it was before civilization. It was some of the most incredible photography I have ever seen. The landscapes, the nature, the animals, the isolated tribes, it was unbelievable. It was the best photography exhibit I think I have ever seen.

After that we all went on the London Eye as a group. We went right after sunset but before it was super dark. It was amazing seeing the city from that far up. Also, I’m apparently much better with heights than some of the people in the group. It was a long day but it went by very fast.
