Landscape, Nature And Travel Photography

Since I wrote Top 5 Photography Related Movies I’ve been an admirer of James Nachtwey. “War Photographer” in which he was the subject was deeply fascinating and inspiring. Shortly after I saw “War Photographer” he won the 2007 TEDPrize, a $100,000 prize for “one wish to change he world”.

“I’m working on a story that the world needs to know about.
I wish for you to help me break it, in a way that provides spectacular proof of the power of news photography in the digital age.” – James Nachtwey

As is noted on the TedPrize.org web site…
“James Nachtwey is preparing to reveal his photographs, which highlight a shocking and underreported global crisis. Over the past 18 months, the TED community have been working with James to gain access to locations he wished to photograph, and to prepare spectacular plans for unveiling these pictures.”

That date of the unveiling is 10.3.08. Stay tuned for it.
