these 2 articles are just a suggestion of the depth and scope of the man and the artist. overwhelming is not too strong a word.

One of the greatest documentary photographers ever, IMO. Criminally underappreciated.

I am so sad to hear this. I studied his work during the golf war, amazing photographer. I have one of his books, a large one. I loved the kind of oil coated B/W images he made. We lost a great!

One of my personal heroes Not only an incredible photographer, but also a great human being. I also recorded a video about him on my YouTube channel

Sebastiao quoted by Chris Wiley in The New Yorker, May 31:

“To see what I see, to have contact where I have—I lived really deep inside the human communities, and I lived deep inside the environment. If it was necessary to start again, I would start exactly as I did before. I had a big pleasure in my life.”
