Movie questions

1. What type of life does a war photographer have, and is it worth it?
I think the life of a war photographer is very secluded from normal lifestyle. These people are usually far away from family and friends for a long time and can be out in the middle of nowhere. It can also be very dangerous because there is always a chance that you can get killed, possibly by a stray bullet or bomb of some sorts, or being captured. I think that it is worth the risk because this is what these people want to do and they enjoy it, if they are rilling to take that risk then its worth it.
2. What type of subject matter does Nachtwey seem to focus on? Why do you think he does this? In alot of his photographs he seems to focus on the devestation of war. Whether it be on people loosing loved ones to war, like the lady who lost her son and they burried him, or cities or villages that have been bombed in war. He also focuses on poverty like in India when he was shooting the people who slept between traintracks and such.
