Photo
of the Week: Searing images of a world at war
World-renowned
photojournalist James Nachtwey presented a slide
show of his work to a large campus audience May 2
as part of the Canon Lecture Series, presented by
the Graduate School of Journalism.
"I
used to call myself a war photographer," Nachtwey
has said. "Now I consider myself an antiwar
photographer." He spent the '90s as a witness to
modern warfare and its consequences around the
globe.
Of
"Inferno," his new book from Phaidon Press, Time
magazine wrote: "...each shot is a primordial scene
in which you recognize what the late 20th century
had in common with, say, the darkest moments of the
sixth."
