James Nachtwey

"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

In my opinion James Nachtwey is the most visually compelling and insightful conflict photographer of our time. The New York times posted a great article about him yesterday, I urge you to check it out.
