His photos reminded me of the paintings of Alejandro Abt, which I first saw (and photographed) at the post office in Ushuaia. Abt even has a trampoline painting (more menacing than Natchwey’s photo, it seems to be about helicopter executions) that might have been inspired by Natchwey. But to find painting-like photos on the run, under fire, is maybe harder than painting such images.

I also record the PGA on my Tivo to run extra time. I did not realize James Natchwey’s interview was on my recording. It’s a good thing I did not delete it yet. Your background information was excellent. I agree that this interview was Riveting and encourage everybody to click on the link you provided to watch it.
