He definitely cheated death in Iraq....Here's something about the
incident in which a grenade came in the window in the Humvee in which he
and Time's Michael Weisskopf were riding as embeds...As I recall reports
at the time, Weisskopf saved a number of lives by picking up the grenade
and tossing it back out the window - it exploded in his hand - and
Nachtwey kept shooting through the incident...as I recall early
reports..

I had read that he was seriously injured in Iraq. There was probably
some speculation that he had cheated death enough times to consider a
new line of work.

Thanks for the link, Greg - BTW - who said Nachtwey was hanging up his
cameras?

It seems news on the Lug of Nachtwey's premature retirement was
premature.
