I chose the photographer James Nachtwey because I respect that he has so much respect for the world and the issues he has documented. I feel I has a sense of duty that he feels as a photographer to let the world know what is going on in order that we never let it happen again. Somewhat like he is a good will and peace corp and a photographer trying to unite nations all with his work behind the lens. I appreciate his pictures and his dedication to his craft.
James Nachtwey grew up in Massachusetts and graduated from Dartmouth college, where he studied Art History and Political Science from 1966-1970. He has worked all over the world, from huge cities, to tiny towns in every region taking pictures of war, famine and civil injustice. Nachtwey has been a contract photographer with Time magazine since 1984 and has won numeous outstanding awards, achievements and medals, so many in fact it is hard to keep count. I think he is a fabulous photographer and civil rights activist in his own right.
