Powerful Photos Help Write History
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.
One of the dreams of every serious photographer is to get that one photo that is so powerful that it can help define history. All the time, I wonder if I missed my chance by 12 hours. On the evening of September 10, 2001, I flew out of New York City. I was there for the Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary Concert and to take photos of the sights of NYC. I had no idea that 12 hours after my photographs were taken, the Twin Towers would no longer be there. But of course I was glad to have my life and safety.
Yesterday I read thru a post that was titled “13 Photographs That Changed The World” I had seen all but one of them before, but their power was still present on me.
Be sure to check the comments of that post for even more photos that could have been included.

Brian, I was very impressed with your post regarding infamous 9-11. I’ve been a shutterbug
since I was about 6yrs old with an old “Kodak” (circa 1946)….still have that ole camera!
In ‘48 my Dad bought an Argus C3, we learned to use it together….still have that that one too!
I have “millions” of slides I’m digitizing + many other types of photo media - massive project.
Am looking forward to sharing these - and some go back to the 20’s an 30’s (I didn’t take
those…ha). ’til later, Stuart
