Photojournalist James Nachtwey was one of the 2007 recipients of the TED Prize. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design and it brings people from these three worlds together to spread ideas, mostly by challenging fascinating thinkers to “give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.  These talks are available on-line at TED.com.  The annual prize winners are given a $100,000 award AND granted one WISH to help change the world.  James Nachtwey’s wish is to “break [a story that the world needs to know about] in a way that provides spectacular proof of the power of news photography in the digitial age.”  That story will break on October 3 both on-line and around the world. Don’t miss it!
