simple language, no colours, no frill, crude facts… the message is clear and dramatic.
A lesson for every reporter. Congrats

The disease is a killer but this portayal of the issue is half-glass empty rather than half-glass full. Nachtwey talks of “hope” but fails to show this in his work. He talks of people making valiant efforts to support TB victims but fails to capture the spirit of this valiancy. His words include prospects for reversing the trend of TB, yet his voice betrays his leaning towards the misery and death his works seem preoccupied with. There are some great pictures here, don’t get me wrong. But the series is packed with suffering and dying people beyond what is really necessary to drive the message of the TB’s seriousness home. How does TB affect people’s lives? Nachtwey does not allow us a window upon the lives of those people who are trying to get on with their lives outside the gloomy wards of death-ridden hospitals. Where is the “struggle to live” portrayed in these pictures? Where is “the best that lies in the human spirit” in this series? It is all death and decay.

Apologies if my last comment was offensive in any way. Would it possible to have a single image as an alternative that pops up when you share this work?

This work is beyond magnificent – it is breathtaking in every way – and I will look at it again and again. Thank you to ALL involved in its creation – including every subject who gave their permission for the world to see their suffering that others might live or the struggle to live be lessened through their sharing their situation. Thank you James Nachtwey – you are incredible!

PS I often share work through Facebook and was surprised to find that instead of an image coming up (or a choice of images) when you share this work, there was no choice but to have the initials of the sponsors. This means that not a single image can be seen when you post or forward it which will inevitably reduce the number of viewers given that this is a photo-essay multimedia piece and, a picture paints a thousand words (or more in the case of this author).
I don’t know how many people use Facebook (and other venues where it can be shared in this way) but it must run into millions so, if the intention is to maximize the audience for all involved, surely at least one photograph would be beneficial to the cause, the subjects, the photographer AND the sponsors. I see that the BD company logo on this page is clearly visible but not so large to be overly intrusive – the very opposite to how it appears when you share it…

Best of the Best!
James Nachtwey is without a doubt a Master. His courageous and sensitive heart supports a lifetime work that have shaped the way we communicate with photography.
Thanks to Burn for bringing this to its audience

What more could one want, what more could one hope to see? I avoided watching this till now because i was afraid of what i’d see in these photographs. But this essay was so profoundly moving, so warm, so beautiful that though i may have winced here and there, i also smiled at the expressions of love which were so palpable, and i felt great hope for the possible survival of these patients who appear to be so close to death’s door. So much to think about, to think about, to think about..this essay does not end here, nor does it end today. These photographs will live on in the memories of any who have seen them. Thank you all who brought this into being. Thank you James N. Amazing. Beyond amazing.
