I mostly concur with Brian here.

There are a few others with consistently good output - Tyler Hicks and
Lynsey Addario come quickly to mind - but Nachtwey seems to be regularly at
the head of the class, no matter where the conflict.

When I was young I thought I wanted to grow up to be like Gene Smith.  Now
I definitely know better.
