Shooting to the End

Shooting to the End – I hope I can bring myself to read this later. But I just looked at the last frames shot by a photographer killed 9-11, pulled from the rubble, and I can hardly type this entry. “And from the site of the most recent horror, which struck almost within sight of his windows, he would have brought back faces, too, if he had returned himself. Instead, the 300-odd photographs he took that morning with his three cameras -two film, one digital – were buried along with him in the rubble of the second tower’s collapse, and dug out four days later, along with his body. He was the only professional photographer who died covering the disaster.”

Bill Biggart, rest in peace.
