For me, the early 80s
were characterized
:41:50
by my move to New York.
:41:53
I was a photo editor for GEO.
:41:57
I'd worked
for SPIEGEL before that,
:41:59
and I had an opportunity
:42:01
to take over
the photography department
:42:04
at the New York office of STERN.
:42:08
That was in 1982.
:42:11
It was
the first time that Nachtwey
:42:15
came to STERN's office
with a portfolio,
:42:21
and that led to a friendship,
:42:26
a love affair.
:42:32
Both of us had an idea
:42:38
what that New York situation
was supposed to lead to.
:42:42
Nachtwey wanted
to make a name for himself.
:42:46
He was very bright...
:42:50
and determined.
His mind was focused
:42:53
It was no longer
nation against nation,
:42:54
but people against people.
:42:56
Like flight routes.
