they bring the truth to the world. photos tell no lies.
It’s guys like you that is creating the vicious cycle of violence and war…
Eh, the Illuminati is run by reptilian kin known throughout history as Jinn, Naga, Angels/Demons, Dragons, Dracul, Al Gore, Bruces, Windsors, Rothschilds etc. that rule the inner cult of Freemasonry and do foul sex&torture rituals. They’ll probably execute WW3, go to internet 2, force-vaccinate everyone in Fall & have a staged alien invasion to get a microchipped pop/world government but will fail! Support FreemanTV, Alex Jones, Dr.Deagle, David Icke, Stewart Swerdlow & Project Camelot!
Thank you James.
Your work is extremely necesary in these times of confusion.
You save lives.
i believe war is a part of life if the reason is justified, but when a war is fought for corrupt motives then it is no longer about protecting your wife and kids, its about self-gain and greed, im not saying that i disagree with the war we are fighting right now im just saying that not all wars have been an act of protection.
why do people not think that our war is righteous, im not attacking you ideas, simply asking for an explanation, maybe you know information about the subject that i dont?
He’s photographs are reflections of violence and continuous destructions caused by humans evolution to find perfection. and now our childrens are suffering from it.. being in those particular moments of fear, you are very brave indeed.. long live James.
I can’t believe people gave your comment thumbs down. The best thing people could say against an “America is pure fucking evil” argument is “Well um.. China is also fucking evil…” It could be worse? America is a joke because of religious stupidification. If not for religion’s influence in America, we would be aggressively leading the way to world health reform with stem cell research. The end of human suffering would be in sight. Too bad that in this reality, the end is just the beginning.
i highly disagree. this is the result of greed, and people that do not follow religion – a value that religion argues against, in all cases. religion is used as a scapegoat, nothing more.
“religion poisons everything” is exactly the kind of sentiment that leads to atrocities. Not that religion has never been used as an excuse for genocide mind you, but people can kill in the name of anything, even in an atheistic environment. Saying “those religious people are responsible for this” or something similar is just a precursor to forming sides. Genocide is not about religion, or even ideals, it’s about ignorance. People dehumanize each other and let rhetoric and mass anger take over.
Look in the eyes of the kid at 12:00 – thats fear…
His facial expression and voice immediately lets you know that he has seen lots of fucked up shit in his life. Amazing Speech.
The best Photographer for two reasons:
He captures things that cause change
He cares more about the subjects than his photos.
James Natchtwey is my hero
James Natchtwey! A man that goes were most fear to tred, a man who shows what goes unsaid, his pictures capture the raw reality of human nature and its quest for life and survival, in the adversity of inhumane atrocities imposed only by man itself, we are the only species on this earth that kills its own kind.
The vital story here is that religion poisons everything.
very interesting but damn hes got an INCREDIBLY boring voice.
amazing man
hamroun12,
“Human nature is the most tragic thing of all”
This might be one of the most powerful sentences I’ve read in my life.
Thank you.
this makes global warming a walk on the park
There are no words to explain this mans message fer he’s spoken it with photographs and compassion. Wonderful clip, thank you so much fer it.
he looks like a man who has seen a lot in this world
This is the most powerful video I’ve ever watched.
Incredible. Whatever you think about foreign policy, this man’s work goes much farther than that: He depicts the true nature of humanity. War and crime occurs all the time and is ugly no matter how you paint it. Some wars may have just causes, others do not. But in both cases, human nature is at root. A just war fights against evil. An unjust war itself is evil. How often we fool ourselves to think that we are basically and naturally good.
Is impressed…
