James Nachtwey: Use my photographs to stop the worldwide XDR

Translator: Mojca Ješe Reviewer: Nika Kotnik

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

Bil sem študent v 60-ih, v času družbenega preobrata in razprav,

and -- on a personal level -- an awakening sense of idealism.

in na osebni ravni, prebujajočega se idealizma.

The war in Vietnam was raging, the Civil Rights movement was under way

Divjala je vojna v Vietnamu, gibanje za državljanske pravice v teku,

and pictures had a powerful influence on me.

slike so name imele močan vpliv.

Our political and military leaders were telling us one thing

Naši politični in vojaški vodje so nam govorili eno,

and photographers were telling us another.

fotografi pa ravno nasprotno.

I believed the photographers and so did millions of other Americans.

Verjel sem fotografom in prav tako milijoni drugih američanov.

Their images fuelled resistance to the war and to racism.

Njihove slike so dodatno spodbujale upor vojni in rasizmu.

They not only recorded history -- they helped change the course of history.

Niso le posnele zgodovine, spremenile so potek dogodkov v zgodovini.

Their pictures became part of our collective consciousness

Njihove slike so postale del naše kolektivne zavesti

and, as consciousness evolved into a shared sense of conscience,

in s preobrazbo zavesti v skupni občutek vesti

change became not only possible, but inevitable.

je postala sprememba ne le mogoča, temveč neizogibna.

It puts a human face on issues which, from afar,

Človeški obraz nadene problemom, ki se zdaleč zdijo

can appear abstract or ideological or monumental in their global impact.

abstraktni, ideologoški ali neznanski, iz globalnega vidika.

What happens at ground level, far from the halls of power,

Kar se dogaja na tleh, daleč od vplivnih dvoran,

happens to ordinary citizens one by one.

se dogaja navadnim državljanom, vsakemu posebej.

And I understood that documentary photography

In doumel sem, da ima dokumentarna fotografija

has the ability to interpret events from their point of view.

moč intepretirati dogodke iz njihove perspektive.

It gives a voice to those who otherwise would not have a voice.

Glas da tistim, ki ga ponavadi nimajo.

My TED wish. There’s a vital story that needs to be told

Moja želja za TED. To je pomembna zgodba, ki jo je potrebno povedati.

and I wish for TED to help me gain access to it

Želim, da mi TED pomaga do nje dostopati

and then to help me come up with innovative and exciting ways

in se nato domisliti inovativnih in zanimimih pristopov

to use news photography in the digital era.

kako novinarsko fotografijo uporabiti v digitalni dobi.

Thank you very much.

Najlepša hvala.
