Fast-action photography is no great trick anymore. The real trick is to pin down the slow motions that make the great arcs of history. This is what photographer Sebastiao Salgado has done over the past 10 years, as he traveled everywhere to watch and think about the relocations caused by war and the whiplashings of the global economy. And to show them. In Africa, Asia and the Balkans, it was knives and gunfire that moved millions of refugees. In Asia and Latin America, the simple but still desperate search for work pushed millions to the overpacked cities. The pictures...
...show uses a novel trick to convey its dual focus: the personal-life scenes are shot on film, police scenes on digital video. The digital scenes are jarring (part Blair Witch Project, part 1981-era Duran Duran video), but Levinson says they mimic the "voyeuristic kind of approach" of shows like Cops. Says Fontana: "You want [channel surfers] to stop and say, 'What the hell is that?'"

Some of us (social studies, take a bow) had no way out of this requirement (though an eleventh-hour switch to government might have done the trick), and others of us were just plain crazy enough to volunteer for hazardous duty...
...Fast action photography is no great trick anymore. What's harder to pin down are the slower but more decisive motions that make the great arcs of history. Over the past decade the photographer Sebastião Salgado traveled across five continents to observe the great relocations of people caused by war, famine and the whiplashings of the global economy. In Africa, Asia and the Balkans, war produced millions of refugees. In Asia and Latin America the simple but still desperate search for work moved millions to the packed cities. The pictures on this and the following pages, from...
...about. But the more I thought about it, I realized that it was silly to play this ur-genealogy game, expecting someone to heal my existential angst just because their parents were as uncreative as mine. But still, I'm going to go to lunch with him, just to trick him into paying the bill so I can steal his credit-card numbers as part of the easiest scam in history. That way I can rack up enough debt on his credit card to keep him from renewing that domain name...
