Amazing photos
but too remarkable for me right now.
After glimpsing just the first pics i knew they were too affecting for me right this minute.
Already the first Rwanda one is burned in my brain.

Difficult to look at, but very well done.

Belatedly, but thank you.

There's some amazing, and very sad, photos on there. Nice, thanks.

I've seen several of these in magazines, etc. Amazing work, and yeah, really hard to look at.

Wow. Incredible photos, intensely moving. I'm in awe of brilliant photographers like Nachtwey who somehow seem to juggle the passion and empathy they obviously feel and the distance that's required to evaluate and compose such compelling images.

Thought provoking, powerful pictures. I have seen some of these before, and they never fail to move me.
