TiBones Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) I was in NY in December that year. Ground zero was still smoking and they were still busy pulling down adjacent buildings that had been damaged. To see the usually brash New Yorkers just standing, looking at the damage and crying was surreal. Edited September 11, 2013 by TiBones Tumbleweed 1
Tumbleweed Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Tumbles, I have gone to the photographers site following your post and the images are spectacular and very unsettling yet they need to be seen. http://www.jamesnachtwey.com/ If you get a chance, google James Nachtwey War Photographer Documentary. It's a poignant POV look at what he does. I have had the privilege of meeting him. Such a humble man. I guess witnessing what he has would humble any of us. I have a huge amount of respect for the people who risk their lives to get the news out. On a day like today, I think, along with the innocent victims of those heinous attacks, of my friend Anton Hammerl, who was killed in Libya, and of James Foley, who saw Anton being gunned down. James has, of yesterday, been missing in Syria for 292 days.
MTBeer Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 This was taken by one of the world's best war photographers, James Nachtwey, who was on a break from assignments. I think it best encapsulates what would become a clash of cultures and civilisations... Nachtwey used to be a regular visitor to South African newspapers. He was there the day Ken Oosterbroek was killed.he may be a good photographer but his geography is a bit dodgy, if you go by the photos posted under South Africa on his website.

Tumbleweed Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 he may be a good photographer but his geography is a bit dodgy, if you go by the photos posted under South Africa on his website. Once you get through the two photographs of South Africa, you skip to the "Famine" section; go the other way, and you go to the Bosnia section.
MTBeer Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Once you get through the two photographs of South Africa, you skip to the "Famine" section; go the other way, and you go to the Bosnia section.I know. Just being nit-picky.
Wyatt Earp Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Once you get through the two photographs of South Africa, you skip to the "Famine" section; go the other way, and you go to the Bosnia section. Yeah, online chest pumping is so overrated.
Tumbleweed Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Found this pic of the day of Ken's death. That's James Nachtwey attending to Greg Marinovich, who co-authored The Bang-Bang Club with Joao Silva. Silva lost both his legs to a landmine explosion in Afghanistan some years back.
Tumbleweed Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Apologies for going on a bit of a tangent today, but here's part of the doccie I mentioned earlier:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_vXfW94Xkc

Jao Silva top left corner...they were a irritating bunch at the time, always pushing the envelope...
