Nachtwey Reviewed in NY Times

By Todd on March 28, 2007 6:07 AM |

Two James Nachtwey shows are reviewed in today's NY Times.

Beauty is a vexed matter in scenes of suffering, cruelty and death. The difference between exploitation and public service comes down to whether the subject of the image aids the ego of the photographer more than the other way around. The two are not mutually exclusive.

I recently commented on War Photographer, a documentary about Natchwey.
