The Digital War Journalist


"I have been a witness, and these pictures are
my testimony. The events I have recorded should
not be forgotten and must not be repeated."
-James Nachtwey-


For the past 30 years, James Nachtwery has helped people all over the world see war images that they would probably not have been able to see. This man has surrendered the option of living a fairly normal life and a family in order to use whatever he knows regarding photography to help the people he is photographing.

By looking at the pictures that he has taken, I feel like he has given me an idea about the lowest and the most unfortunate situations that people in despair and misery are in. I am fascinated how he is able to use his gift in technology to give me a better understanding and knowledge on what is going on in war zones.

West Bank, 2000 - Palestinians fighting the Israeli army.














New York, 2001 - Collapse of south tower of World Trade Center.












Northern Ireland, 1981 - Truck hijacked by Catholic demonstrators during the hunger

Romania, 1990 - An orphanage for " incurables".
