Michael Watts Weekly Post #6

Javier Manzano

Javier Manzano is a documentary photographer who visits some of the most conflicted and warn torn places on earth.  He has captured images of the Syrian Civil War, the Mexican Drug Wars and the war in Afghanistan.  He has captured many shocking and awe-inspiring images and has had his work featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, and TIME magazine just to name a few.  I think that what Javier does is very important because it offers people a raw uncensored and unbiased look at what is going on in less fortunate parts of the world.  When covering a story, news stations may choose to exclude images that include blood or human suffering but photographers like Javier bring to light what others may choose to ignore.
