James Nachtwey is a well known photographer that specializes in war time photos. He is also widely known for his documentation of the World Trade Center tragedy. I really identify with his work because he captures more than a photograph, he captures a story. He gets right on the subject and takes a photo at point blank range. I like how he leaves much information out of the photo, and just puts the pertinent information in. He seems to be able to tie together the elements of design and human emotion. In the picture of the wheelchair on the bottom left he takes a photograph of a deathly ill patient that has been starved, nearly to death. I would strive to become more like him.
