I was a student in the '60s, a time of social upheaval and questioning,

Eu era um estudante na década de 60, tempo de tumulto social e em que imperavam questões,
00:24
and -- on a personal level -- an awakening sense of idealism.

e a nível pessoal, o despertar de um sentido de idealismo.
00:28
The war in Vietnam was raging, the Civil Rights movement was under way

A guerra do Vietnam estava no auge; o movimento dos Direitos Civis estava a dar os primeiros passos
00:33
and pictures had a powerful influence on me.

e as fotografias tinham uma forte influência em mim.
00:36
Our political and military leaders were telling us one thing
4
17283
3623
Os nosso líderes políticos e militares estavam a contar-nos uma história
00:39
and photographers were telling us another.
5
20906
2713
e os fotógrafos estavam a contar-nos outra.
00:42
I believed the photographers and so did millions of other Americans.
6
23619
4544
Eu acreditei nos fotógrafos e assim fizeram milhões de outros americanos.
00:47
Their images fuelled resistance to the war and to racism.
7
28163
4161
As suas imagens fomentaram a resistência à guerra e ao racismo.
00:51
They not only recorded history -- they helped change the course of history.
8
32324
4644
Eles não só documentaram a história, eles ajudaram a mudar o curso da história.
00:55
Their pictures became part of our collective consciousness
9
36968
3618
As suas fotografias tornaram-se parte da nossa consciência colectiva
00:59
and, as consciousness evolved into a shared sense of conscience,
10
40586
3893
e, à medida que a consciência evolui para um sentido partilhado de consciência,
01:03
change became not only possible, but inevitable.
11
44479
3288
a mudança tornou-se não só possível, mas inevitável.
01:06
It puts a human face on issues which, from afar,
12
47767
3751
Pôs um rosto humano em questões que de longe
01:10
can appear abstract or ideological or monumental in their global impact.
13
51518
5407
podem parecer abstractas ou ideológicas ou monumentais no seu impacto global.
01:15
What happens at ground level, far from the halls of power,
14
56925
4645
O que acontece no terreno, longe dos centros de poder,
01:20
happens to ordinary citizens one by one.
15
61570
3422
acontece a cidadãos comuns, um a um.
01:23
And I understood that documentary photography
16
64992
2323
E eu percebi que a fotografia documental
01:26
has the ability to interpret events from their point of view.
17
67315
4490
tem o dom de interpretar os acontecimentos do ponto de vista deles.
01:30
It gives a voice to those who otherwise would not have a voice.
18
71805
4048
Dá voz a todos aqueles que de outra forma não teriam voz.
01:34
My TED wish. There’s a vital story that needs to be told
19
75853

O meu desejo TED. Existe uma história vital que precisa de ser contada
01:40
and I wish for TED to help me gain access to it
20
81338
3607
e eu desejo que TED me possa ajudar a conhecê-la
01:43
and then to help me come up with innovative and exciting ways
21
84945
3584
e depois me possa ajudar a criar formas inovadoras e emocionantes
01:47
to use news photography in the digital era.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
James Nachtwey - PhotojournalistPhotojournalist James Nachtwey is considered by many to be the greatest war photographer of recent decades. He has covered conflicts and major social issues in more than 30 countries.
Why you should listen
For the past three decades, James Nachtwey has devoted himself to documenting wars, conflicts and critical social issues, working in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, South Africa, Russia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Romania, Brazil and the United States.
Nachtwey has been a contract photographer with Time since 1984. However, when certain stories he wanted to cover -- such as Romanian orphanages and famine in Somalia -- garnered no interest from magazines, he self-financed trips there. He is known for getting up close to his subjects, or as he says, "in the same intimate space that the subjects inhabit," and he passes that sense of closeness on to the viewer.
In putting himself in the middle of conflict, his intention is to record the truth, to document the struggles of humanity, and with this, to wake people up and stir them to action.
