For my Time Machine essay research I decided to stop with photographer James Nachtwey. I really was touched by his photographs. Specially by his series from Africa, about AIDS, Tuberculosis and HIV diseases .
James Nachtwey (born March 14, 1948) is an American photojournalist and war photographer. He was trying to bring these stories to the light and to show for the world what is important and underreported. Nachtwey's wish was that he could break this story, and demonstrate proof of the power of news photography in the digital age.
My questions for analysis:
Why Nachtwey's so interested in it? - research about his past.
Why these diseases so prevalent in Africa? - need to investigate their culture and history.
