What moral, ethical or spiritual "progress" have we made as a result? What have those photos done to make things better? Are we better for seeing them? If so, how so? What change has come about as a result of Nachtwey's actions? In 1945 we had pictures of the death camps in Germany. In 1995 we had pictures from Rwanda. When the "unthinkable" happpens next week, next month or next year, Nachtwey will probably be there to take pictures. As much as I'd like to think otherwise, all this now comes under the heading of "entertainment." Arthur
