Help tell the story!

James Nachtwey is perhpas the greatest photojournalist of our time - he has covered countless wars, famines, and epidemics in order to raise the world's awareness of global issues through imagery. James was awarded a Ted Prize (Ted.com, TedPrize.org) which allows its recipient “one wish to change the world.”

James wish was this, “I’m working on a story that the world needs to know about. I wish for you to help me break it, in a way that provides spectacular proof of the power of news photography in the digital age.”

This from Tedprize.org, "James Nachtwey is preparing to reveal his photographs, which highlight a shocking and underreported global crisis. Over the past 18 months, the TED community have been working with James to gain access to locations he wished to photograph, and to prepare spectacular plans for unveiling these pictures."
