James Nachway was a war photographer that took pictures that capture the real and horrile moments that happen and we just don't want to see. I would post a picture of his work on my blog, but it's so hard to look at those photos that I just don't want to see them multiple times, so I am just posting his image. I think his work is something that really makes a difference in our world because he shows the world what happens in other countries in a time of war or harship and he does it in a way that makes people want to do something and get involved in some way to help. If photography can do anything, it needs to be able to move people to be active, get involved and be concious of what is happening outside of their world. I think James has a strong will to get the word out about people in need, and he must have a stong mind to be able to handle all the things in which he sees and deals with in taking these photographs.
why do you say hew 'was' a war photographer? he still is ;)
ReplyDeleteanyway, do you know the documentary film 'war photographer' that covers his work? it's a great picture by the swiss director christian frei - highly recommended.
