Hi Frank,
Is bull-***t a C*n*n accessory? Nachtwey was shown using a C*n*n in the
documentary.
Do you think they painted a picture of Nachtwey, or that maybe Nachtwey
had a lot to say about what was shown and how he was portrayed? I'm not
suggesting one or the other, just wondering aloud as I

G'day Shel,
Don't get me wrong, the documentary was well made. The photos, I
thought, were really very good, and Jim Nachtwey came across as
compassionate man trying to share his experiences.
But the horrors injustices that mankind repeatedly inflicts on
itself is kinda' depressing.

Ahh, OK ... I can certainly understand that. I've seen the film two or
three times, and couldn't understand what you meant, as I thought you may
have been talking about Nachtwey.
The ting is, as seen in the film, it struck me that his life was kind of
empty. For example, when he returned home

If you think about some of the other great photographers of the same and
similar genre - Lange, Smith, Capa, HCB, Salgado, etc.,
Of those you mention Capa is the only one I'm really familiar with.
But I have to agree.

Hi,
More poignant was the suggestion that Nachtway is now
unable to function in normal society, due to his many decades of being in
war zones. After a couple of weeks away from a war, he's off to another
one.
He has made a huge sacrifice to bring the world his images.

I saw the film War Photographer featuring James Nachtwey last night, a very
interesting documentary indeed, a man dedicated to his craft. There is a web
site associated with the film at http://www.war-photographer.com/ it's worth a
read but doesn't present a great deal of James's work.

Thanks for the post Bob. I think James Nachtwey is the
best photojournalist working today, and one the all time
greats. According to the web site the movie will be
released here (US) in June 2002.
