  • James what is your favorite focal length and why? Also heard you are shooting digital now. What is your camera system of choice?

    Love your work James.

  • James truly is an amazing man, and the most amazing photographer.

  • This guy is my idol

  • When is James Nachtwey going to bring out his own line of jeans?...

  • You got a big hard.

    You will put your life on the line to show people what happens on Earth.

    End to make de world a better place for everybody not only the rich people.

  • Great said...salute

  • Felicito tu trabajo....eres muy grande y valiente

    mucha suerte

  • James Nachtwey, thank you for your work, persistance, passion, commitment and bravery. I just wish more photographers were like you.

  • thank you for your work. you inspire me.

  • You are a great photographer and human being. I respect you and admire you.

  • God bless you Brother James. May all of Heaven and all of Creation cry your message. May all the Angels and Saints and all peoples of good will come to your aid and heed your concerns. Great will be your eternal reward on Judgement Day. You could have spent your life taking pictures of vain "sexy" women charging thousands of dollars an hour, but NO. You point your lens at the human soul and you tear our hearts out. We Sir are in you debt. You are the Salt of the Earth. The Light of the World.

  • Thank you -

  • phuu......nachtwey has seen too much death. he really should have finished this job a long time ago. i'm glad i didnt saw what he did........i would have lost the rest in my believes on humanity!

  • I agree. His images are powerful, but his eyes reflect such sorrow and loneliness.

  • You inspire me to do so much more in this world to help out. I want to be as great as you someday and reach out to as many people as I can.

  • what that got to do with 50 cent and rap>>> u find it with the related videos of 50 and what was that shit he was talking about TV.>>> HEALTH ISSUES>>> GET ALIFE>> IRAQ>> POVERTY>>> WAR>>>CRIMES AND U STUBID LIL FUCK TALKING ABOUT TV AND HEALTH ISSUES>>> UH MAN>>>>

  • Curable?

    Then why are you fighting for it?

    I think me may mean curable up to a certain period of time.....k..

  • Thank you James Nachtwey for opening my eyes to so many things. The first time I saw a collection of your photographs I cried like a child. If your photographs have as much impact on the world as they had on me then I will say YOU are one of the most important people in this world. I was thinking how it was possible for you to see all that suffering and pain without yourself breaking down and realized right away that angels must be very, very close to you and you must have felt it so many times.

  • You wouldn't know about the things the doctors and nurses have to face without the photographers.

  • a true ...not only american hero..but an international one

  • Reldra, whether TB is 1st in line or not, SOMEBODY needs to talk about it.

    If you are so concerned about the issues that you mentioned, then YOU should make a video about it rather than complaining about it on an irrelevant video.

  • Bit of an over the top reaction don't you think RELDRA ?

    What do you really do to make this world a better place ?

    Arguing about what should become first is deadly for the ones who come second.

    Shameful appearence reldra !

  • James your awesome! If everyone in this world was more like you, there would be no wars.

    Bravo...

  • My comment was NOT an insult toward James, because I LIKE James Nachtwey. It was a reply to Reldra, who was unappreciative of Nachtwey's advocacy of TB.

  • Thank you for this informative video, and for caring!

  • Hello i've just watched your video and its very moving thank you for that. Im a youg photographer that doesnt want to be like other young photographers what can i do to get started on the right track (i've been taking photographs for about 3 years)

  • I agree that the planet is overpopulated, but don't you think it would be more humane to simply reduce reproduction, rather than let the poorest people on the planet die without a chance to prove their worth?

  • They had their chance . It's 2008 and some people are still living in the stone ages. That's not that bad. At least their not raping the environment like we are. The planet is not really over populated. It's just how much of it Humans consume that makes us dangerous. Nothing would be more helpful to the entire planet than a nice reduction in the Human population. We can't go around trying to save everyone anymore. Even though people mean well, it's just not working.

  • También me aparece el mismo mensaje:

    "This video is not available in your country"

    Vivo en Argentina...

  • When I try to see the video I get:

    "This video is not available in your country"

    So much for spreading the word. Well I live in Norway....!

  • hey me too! wat the hell is going on? i live in a nanny state

  • Really people, knock it off with the politics! Listen to the video and what Mr. Nachtwey has to say. Leave the the politics to the political campaigns and focus on the social justice issues that are at hand. Let's spread awareness not political hatred that we thrive on every four years. Too many people are suffering for this nonsense.

  • ur an idiot

    why dont you say something constructive?

    mccain knows very well how to fool people

    if there's a candidate who really doesn't give a shit about religion, it's the one who's purely politically-motivated and that's maccain

  • apparently, you didn't see Obama talking about the Bible. Complete and utter moron about it and trashed it.

    Wake up!!!!!!!!

  • does saying that make you feel better for not helping those less fortunate than you?

    yes, i think so.

    :)

  • yeah sure, did you think that up all by your lonesome or did fox news give you a hand??? retard:)

  • So how can we help, how can we make a difference?

  • I don't have a closet.

  • good job...

    regards

  • James, you're quite studly.

  • Amen!

  • hey , i can't watch your video named "37 photographs. 3 minutes. Millions of lives to save: XDR-TB" beacause im from peru , and that video is not available im my country , so racist...

  • lo mismo me pasa pero no creo que sea porque "somos de Peru" o por "racista"...

  • T B totally bummed

  • I would recommend turning off comments. Your video is great, and I intend to do a little more research on TB.

  • omg

  • I'm mad tired, son.

  • Is it possible to see this slideshow if you live in Sweden? I would love to see it! Just recently saw your film "war photographer" and I thought it was very powerful!

  • Psalm 36: 1-3

    Sinners don't respect Go; sin is all they think about.

    They like themselves too much to hate their own sins or even to see them.

    They tell deceitful lies, and they don't have the sense to live right.

  • I meant to say that he wants to eliminate 6 billion***

  • Youre WASTING your time trying to fight TB without fighting those who have been creating it in a laboratory. STOP the fascist genocidal maniacs from enslaving the world...join the revolution to take back the USA from the corporate elite criminals using business as a weapon of war against national sovereignty, freedom, liberty and wielding their influence to bribe other national leaders to surrender their sovereignty until a fascist global plantation is created and you have full blown slavery.

  • your a bit simple arent you?

  • They want population control. According to David Rockefeller he wants to eliminate 600 million of us..wipe us off the face of the earth. I bet you think AIDS just naturally came into existence. I trust you dont know that AIDS was manufactured in a laboratory. WAKE UP!

  • Lol i suppose all that scientific evidence proving HIV came from Primeates. it is generally accepted aids comes from hiv but as i said your too simple to understand the that the scientific evidence is sound and not manufactured.

  • yes,  i agree....

  • He looks like an old George Clooney

  • just what I was thinking when i clicked the video

  • If I try to watch the other vid:

    "This video is not available in your country."

    Blocking this vid for several countries will help spread the word i bet...

  • My hat's off to you, sir! Good luck...

  • what a f***? Not available in your country? what a f***ing GLOBAL awarness campaign?

  • Fake.

  • TB is unfortunately increasing in the USA. Newly arrived people (legal, illegal or tourists)and those born here are no longer receiving the screening that was once prevalent to prevent this disease.

  • Y do they let idiots post!? we should all have to take an IQ test for the right to post....

  • Ha, i had her last night. Mmmmmmm. So i guess YOUR still in the closet?......Fag Laff!!

  • nice... but i dont thint she will fit in my closet...

  • problem with normal tb is..sometimes u can have TB for years and never know it 'cuase ur immune system wraps itself around it and u dun show any symptoms till ur immune system is weak

  • Thank you so much for sharing, and for your efforts. I will be spreading the word...

  • seems kind of boring...you should try and speed it up lolz...

  • Hi James---well done and hope this posting and your efforts are fruitful. Have you hooked up with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation? Strong financial backing there.....

  • dear U5placers: you are an asshole. Seems to me that you don't care about this message, there's a lot of things we can do to prevent TB and help to the cure of it, if there is a will, there is a way.This are the kind of videos that we should be watching on Youtube

  • Nice idea but there is not much we can do about it. The increase in TB is a side- effect of our increasingly borderless-world and immigration without proper medical screening before entering another country. Be careful the next time someone coughs on you. Thats how you get it. If you have a cough with blood (lots of blood), see your doctor.

  • So he gets to be a guest editor and he only features his videos?

  • This is what should be posted on Youtube.

    Not some pathetic teenager mouthing off about their stupid little fucking lives

  • maybe you should google.

  • Too bad I'm getting "This video is not available in your country." on the other two videos :/

  • same...guess its ok for this guy or youtube for Bulgarians to have TB

  • One of the biggest photographers on planet earth. Instead of asking all the time a bout him, why dont you just look it up on the internet?

  • hemp oil can b a reliever and curer for diseases and chronic illness etcc.. look it up.. the govt r wrongg.!!theyr being ignorrannt like most of you caught up. sorri

  • what is TB?

  • who is he ?

  • one of the best photojournalists alive today

    look up war photographer

  • I think regular-type TB is normally successfully treated with isoniazid and vitamin B6. Most healthcare workers in US have a PPD skin test every year. Wondering if any of the drug-resistant cases in US.

  • They let this guy guest pick the featured videos and the only videos he picks are his own???

  • This guy is an inspiration to me. He is just awesome. I totally agree with everything he said.

  • Do you even know who this artist is? His work is legendary. His art is important. This is a man who protects our freedom of speech every day that he is out in the field photographing the poor and ravaged suffering due to war. He is one of the most aware and profound artists and we are lucky he is using his work for a purpose. This is a man who has risked his life and watched his friends get shot. I urge you to see his work.

  • the artistic skill of a photographer goes as far as being able to take the most meaningfull shots possible for what you are trying to convey, it's not art, it's philosophy. art would imply that he creates the moment, as opposed to capturing it. now i'm not saying anything for or against his work, but the difference of art vs. philosophy is important to note

  • Jerrysienfield, papageorgio23, did you ever go to school!???

  • lol, look in the channel comments. im actually the one that started the whole featured your own videos thing.

    HAHA

  • It exists due to ignorance

  • Yeah, isn't he stupid for using the opportunity to support his goals? Wait a minute...

  • Hey James,

    I saw your documentary, War Photographer and that's how I know about your works. You are one of the most inspiring photographers I have come across. What's more important, is that you are an inspiring personality. I remember clearly how your friends used to go drink at the end of the day and you used to drink a glass of water. Or so it said in the documentary. That stuck with me the most. If there is anything that I can do, getting involved DIRECTLY, please let me know.

  • If Anyone has ever seen "War Photographer" it is a Documentary about this man and his life's work.

    It is amazing to see all of these Retards that are criticizing someone who has shown the world what goes on behind the closed curtains.

    You should watch it. It will open your eyes and keep you from stating the disrespectful crap that your are commenting about.

  • I wasn't even aware that TB was still such a problem. Unbelievable. My grandfather had TB and was easily treated. This should not be the problem it is. Tremendous work in bringing this to peoples' attention.

  • yeah nice idea, but honestly, i dont think we should be dumping money into other countries until we can get ours under control.... Have you seen the stock markets lately?

  • sup dawg, ya fat fart fickle fabulous!~

  • Why just feature your own videos?? Tool. Its a very important message but there are much less egotistical ways to go about it.

  • Actually you look like the tool. This man is one of the few real decent people out there and also an outstanding photographer. Egotistical is not an adjective to describe this man.

  • If you paid attention you would see I never used the word egotistical to describe this man, I stated that there are "much less egotistical way to get his message across" But in your blind rage by seeing the word "tool" led you to lash out before thinking. Think before you reply.

  • Like I said.....

  • message not very consistent . I would say its a matter of consciousness.

  • This guy is ugly as shit!!! blah blah blah good for you!

  • I SNIFF PEOPLES FARTS!

  • I think its great that you draw attention to those in need and get others to become involved in an active healing effort.

  • This man is amazing.

  • hahaha wtf? xD

  • Don't forget about the dog.

  • U KICKED MY FUCKING DOG!?!??!

  • ah yeah! what my video Home Business Rage!! It's much better.

  • Dear Mr. Nachtwey,

    I hope by now you have connected with Dr. Paul Farmer or with his organization, Partners in Health. They are very involved (successfully, I might add) in treating MDR-TB in Peru, Haiti, Lesotho, Russia, and other areas where medical care has traditionally been non-existent. They train local people to be community health workers, who make sure that the sick continue to receive and take their medicines. Please contact PIH if you are interested in helping. Thanks!

  • It looks like this guy is doing this for money or popularity, he doesnt really sound interested at all but at least its a good thing

  • "This video is not available in your country."

    Did i hear "global" awareness campaign..? fail

  • mocanha22.. ur an idiot.

  • Why just feature your own videos?? Tool. Its a very important message but there are much less egotistical ways to go about it.

  • TB was pretty much extinct in the western world. However, recently there have been some cases of people with TB in the western world. Where do they come from I wonder?

  • :) cute

  • Way to feature your own video...

  • wow way to be a guest editor and choose your own video...

  • you are the racist one.

    ohhhhh the "white people!"

  • Hello, This is Brian from "Brians Basement." I was wondering

    if you wouldn't mind checking out a few of my videos. It's a

    community based show and we are building towards something

    that is much different from what we usually watch here on You

    Tube. If you like it please subscribe and be apart of our community.

    Thanks for reading and take care. Your friend, Brian

  • omg your my hero

  • tb is airborne, ppl can't help it if they catch it unless you at a strip club.

  • terburckelous! Ter-bur-cu-lo-sis-Tar-bu-k-buk­kake

  • You can still write RON PAUL in when you vote. Change history..Are You American Enough?

  • What you talkin 'bout Willis?

  • I think this is a really great thing your doing. I love your photographs. They are moving, looking at them gave me chills. Photojournalism is something I'm considering pursuing. I find this inspirational.

  • You seem like a good guy, but sooooooo boring!

  • Trying to do an international awareness campaign, and the video with the pictures is not available worldwide, what kind of restriction is that?!!!

  • we don't have it in my ounntry so it's not a problem

  • It's easy to ignore if it's not prevalent in your country.

    We haven't had a "big" problem with TB in the US in ages, but now we're seeing quickly rising numbers of cases of MDRTB (Multiple Drug Resistant TB) due in large part to the number of people moving here from developing nations which ARE suffering.

    As long as part of our global community suffers from something, there's always a chance it can spread to places as yet unaffected. Sorry to burst your bubble, but Australia isn't immune. :(

  • what are TB

  • Tuberculosis. He says it in the video.

    SUMMARIZED Wikipedia: "[TB] is a common & often deadly infectious disease that usually attacks the lungs but can also affect: central nervous system, lymphatic system, circulatory system, gastrointestinal system, bones, joints, & even the skin. Typical symptoms are chronic cough w/ blood, fever, night sweats, weight loss. 1/3 of world's population have been infected. New infections occur at a rate of 1/second. 1.6 million deaths in '04."

  • Oh I see, thanks for pointing that out.

  • So sad....

  • I got that Haze man

  • Most disease will mutate in these coming years...

    Pandemics are coming

  • Is there a part 2 of this video?

  • I not only like your idea and admire your will and personality to get this meaasage up, I also can see what you mean, I mean it seems like some people in here are just.... Retarded...

    Especielly You "stonerhumor"! what kind of name is that anyway!

    Keep up the good work Mr Nachtwey, Ill do what i can.

  • Great Work James!!!

  • sad you need somnething to hate to live. poor guy.

  • What a legend. One of my favourite photographers.

  • James - I love your work.

  • just post useful responses please. this guys trying to send out a message and all we can talk about is ourselves?

  • Watch Every video in HD

    Put this at the end of this videos link: &fmt=18
