03/24/2002 Entry: "Warphotographer"
A new documentary, warphotographer is being released this month in Switzerland. The documentary focuses on James Nachtwey, an American photojournalist. Anyone who has read this site for awhile will know that he is a huge influence on the photos I take. His book of photos, Inferno, is one of the most important documents of war and genocide that has ever existed. What's so unique about this documentary is that the director rigged Nachtwey's camera with a tiny video camera, so that we see what he sees (more or less) as he looks for photos to make. My only hope is that the film makes it to the US.
Also on the web site, is an eloquent statement that Nachtwey wrote on his mission as a war photographer, entitled Why photograph war?
