Nachtwey came
back from Nicaragua.
:44:09
He was relaxed and happy.
:44:15
He brought me a necklace
made of shells.
:44:21
He put it around my neck,
and I thought that was great.
:44:39
I remember
the first time I met him.
:44:42
His hair was parted,
his jeans were creased,
:44:46
his shirt was immaculate.
:44:48
And amidst all
that dust and chaos,
:44:51
stood this man
I'd never seen before
:44:54
taking his pictures. He was
in no hurry like the others.
:44:58
He was somehow calm,
:45:01
as suddenly
South African photographer
:45:03
Ken Oosterbroek
was killed next to him.

Normally, two sorts of journalists
are hit:
:45:21
The ones
on their first assignment,
:45:24
and the ones
who have been at it too long
:45:28
and think they're bulletproof.
:45:31
Jim is in danger
of seeing himself as bulletproof,
:45:35
in danger of pushing his luck
once too often.
:45:42
As someone
who is quite reserved,
:45:47
he needs that kick,
that adventure,
:45:49
that flow of adrenalin
and the fear of dying,
:45:53
in order to feel alive.
:45:55
Jim is at his best
in the most extreme situation.
