This month's edition of the Rotaria, the English-language magazine of
Rotary International, contains a group of black-and-white photographs by
Sebastiao Salgado documenting the campaign to eradicate polio in the few
third world nations where it still impacts many lifes.

The article note that "Salgado's work is heavily influenced by the
"decisive moment" approach originated by French photographer Henri
Cartier-Gresson - candid shots taken at the precise moment that defines a
story or issue.  Cartier-Bresson also shot only in black and white, a
medium known for its clarity and visceral impact."   Some of Salgado's work
can be viewed at:
