I first heard about James Nachtwey when CBC aired a documentary called "The War Photographer" about a year ago. I found his job really interesting, albeit a little dangerous.
I recently picked up a Dec 2006 issue of National Geographic and some an article about war medicine in Iraq with his pictures. Have a look here. You can also see more of his work here. Really powerful stuff.
It's amazing how he or any other photographers can work in some of those insane situations. To produce some stunning work while bieng in the middle of a disaster zone is mind boggling to me. You have to admire their mental toughness and focus...and the dedication to their work.
