Some of his criticisms of Nachtwey apply equally well to Capa and McCullin, and suggest to me that 1) he doesn't really understand front-line photography/photographers and 2) he has a chip on his shoulder about Nachtwey and Salgado. Nevertheless I do think it is important to hear critical appraisal of photographers like N & S. All to often we get only fawning praise and hero worship.
