A
masters' meeting
In March of 2005, Alberto
Patrian and the Brazilian photographer Sebastião
Salgado, if had found some contacts after,
in a tourist ranch close to Punta Norte and
had decided to make together some photographic
taking that registered the behaviors of the
marine mammal Orca. Salgado its cronograma
changed a little to photograph in Punta Norte,
to be together with Alberto Patrian, that
is one expert in photographing the Orca whale.
Armed with its photographic equipment, if
they had directed for the wastelands beaches
of the Punta Norte, that is one of the most
beautiful ecological reserves of the Valdés
Peninsula, where also live diverse groups
of marine wolves (loberias). The Orca has
as the one of the alimentary habits hunting
to these marine wolves, carrying out scenes
of intense dramaticidade and movement, consisting
therefore in excellent subjects for the photographer.
Salgado and Patrian had been together for
about one month, getting innumerable images
of the habits of the Orca. Salgado it was
getting these photographs to compose a project
that it is initiating in the Patagônia
and it will have to be extender about ten
years of photographic registers for some parts
of the world. This new photograph project
of Sebastião Salgado is called of "Genesis"
and is sponsored by UNESCO, agency of the
United Nations (ONU). Mario Bitt-Monteiro
