:45:01
as suddenly
South African photographer

:45:03
Ken Oosterbroek
was killed next to him.

:45:17
Normally, two sorts of journalists
are hit:

:45:21
The ones
on their first assignment,

:45:24
and the ones
who have been at it too long

:45:28
and think they're bulletproof.
:45:31
Jim is in danger
of seeing himself as bulletproof,

:45:35
in danger of pushing his luck
once too often.

:45:42
As someone
who is quite reserved,

:45:47
he needs that kick,
that adventure,

:45:49
that flow of adrenalin
and the fear of dying,

:45:53
in order to feel alive.
:45:55
Jim is at his best
in the most extreme situation.

:46:05
That's it. He keeps
on pushing those limits.

:46:11
Tough...
:46:13
Tough, tough, tough.
:46:20
It's also very difficult
to talk to Nachtwey

:46:24
about the insane situations
he has narrowly escaped.

:46:29
It's excruciating the way some
photographers and journalists

:46:32
never stop talking about what
they've experienced.

:46:37
With Nachtwey, however,
:46:38
you have to
drag everything out of him.

:46:42
You really have to beg him,
:46:45
and, even then, he tries to avoid
making the impression

:46:48
that he's bragging, showing off.
