Salgant: Everybody, please remember the costume ball tomorrow. The theme will be gender-swapped! So the ladies shall dress as lords and the lords as ladies!

Maeglin, to Turgon: Please uncle, I don't want to go. I hate costume balls!

Turgon: No, you will go. We all will go, or your friend Salgant will be sad. Is the thought of wearing a dress so displeasing for you? You can wear something else.

Maeglin: No! I do not care about the dress! I will be a very pretty princess! But father took me to a costume ball hosted by one of his friends once. The topic was heroes.

Turgon: And? That sounds nice. For Eöl, I mean...

(February 8, 1944 – May 23, 2025) Absolutely heartbroken to read of the death of Sebastião Salgado. In Conversation With Salgado Sebastião.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents "The Diplomatic Corpse," a light comedy starring Peter Lorre as private detective Tomas Salgado and directed by Paul Henreid.

Plot: "A married couple stands to inherit 30,000 British pounds when the wife's aunt riding with them dies, but while in Mexico their car with her body inside is stolen."

Notable for: Peter Lorre, of course.

Potential spoiler: "The highlight of the show is Peter Lorre's performance as Salgado. He is delightfully enthusiastic and commands the screen every time he appears. In one funny moment that looks adlibbed, he searches in his pocket for something and pulls out a pair of handcuffs, shrugging and muttering, 'Tools of my trade.'" Source

È morto a 81 anni Sebastião Salgado, uno dei più grandi fotografi del nostro tempo. Con il suo bianco e nero profondo ha raccontato il dolore e la bellezza del mondo: le migrazioni, il lavoro, le ferite della natura, ma anche la dignità degli ultimi e la sacralità della vita.

Ogni suo scatto era un atto di pietas, un gesto d’amore verso l’umanità.

Diceva: «La fotografia è il mio linguaggio. Cerco di esplorare la nostra esperienza umana condivisa».

Ci lascia un’eredità di luce e verità.
