You’ve probably seen the posters all around town for James Nachtwey’s latest exhibition, called “The Sacrifice”. He is one of the world’s preeminent photojournalists, a contract photographer for Time since 1984 and a member of the famous Magnum Co-operative Agency. His latest show details scenes he has shot of soldiers wounded in Iraq and their subsequent recovery efforts.

I was lucky enough to be invited to the opening, held at Mark Seliger’s 401 Projects, at which I believe ten Iraqi veterans were present. I didn’t want to post too many pictures of the show as it’s something one should go see for themselves, but here are a few glimpses. (Show ends April 8th.)

Many of the soldiers are now themselves involved with Operation Comfort, a group dedicated to helping soldiers who are recovering at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.
