These days, when irresponsible leaders threaten other countries with war and mass destruction, The simple wish for a peaceful life is shut by grid and power. The latest news remind me of a powerful movie I watched in NY 2002. "War Photographer" is a documentary about James Nachtwey, who bravely photographs countries in violent conflict. What is so unique about this particular photographer, is his sensibility in the horrific situations he encounters and his powerful esthetics which makes these brutal photographs burn a scar in your heart.
