We watched a speach by James Nachtwey in class on Jan. 233rd. I found his work and story very interesting. His work was visiually beautiful, but the content was horrifying. It was horrifying to think that people are capable of treating one another like that. His work was also interesting in the sense that you could really get a feel for his compassion for the people he was photographing. You can tell in his work that his goal was not sensationalize the scenes and the gore, but to tell the subjets stories and to envoke and inspire the same sense of compassion in those that observe his work.
