I realized I was capturing one story…
Throughout Natchwey’s compelling speech, we learned of his many adventures throughout the world photography the atrocities the world faces by the evil that can consume the nations. James Natchwey traveled to many different areas of the world documenting the country’s conflicts. Israel vs. Palestine, Africa, Middle Eastern nations, North Korea and more. There were so many different evils that we was experiencing throughout these times, or so he thought. Until the 9/11 Attack in New York, “history crystalized” and he realized he’d been documenting one story. This quote hit me to the core and made me truly think about what we face in the nation. The truth is there is evil everywhere. People are not fighting separate wars, but there seems to be a world wide struggle of good versus evil; people who are willing to show compassion versus those who will slaughter to get ahead. There are those of us who want good for others and those are those of us who want good for only ourselves and that is why there is conflict in the world. It all comes down to the simple struggle between good and evil, the theme of countless novels we’ve ready throughout our lifetimes. Little did we know, this simple struggle is one that has plagued nearly every nation in existence.
