Review of James Nachtwey

I found this war photographer to be very interesting. The first reason is that his photographs were really not all that technically amazing as far as looking at a subject in a different perspective, but it was his ablitltiy to get the chance to photograph the things and the  people that he did. Most people, especially in a state of all time personal low, would not just let some random guy come up and photograph them. This photographer must have had some kind of special connection or look to himself to make other people, sometime the enemy, feel comfortable facing into the lens of his camera. Because of this gift he has with the human race as a whole he is able to let his viewers come into the picture and see something critically amazing that they have never imagined.
