Images from the frontline of history

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

is the title of an exhibition in Soho, 116 Prince Street, NY 10012 about the WTC attack and it's aftermath. Recently there was a discussion here about Leica Ms being used in the streets of NY on Sep. 11 and I thought it is a good opportunity for all to see what people recorded, amateurs and profis alike, in those days. Anyone may submit pictures; prints of those are sold to support the Children's Aid Society of New York. See the exhibit web site for details and images submitted. Two of my contributions (Leica M6 w/35):

Thanks, Dietmar. The image of the two girls did it for me.

Lest we forget! Nowadays you have to be very careful what you say. Everyone is so opinionated. Even down here, where we have rougly 3000 people spread out all over the Shire, there are those that are raising hell about the bombing of the Afgans. When I was in Vietnam, they tried to tell me that we were fighting for the rights of those back home to tell us to go to hell. Some how it just didn't wash. I see the media starting all over again. Moulding public opinion. Ahh, I guess I am waxing a bit philosophical. PN
