Bill Biggart: September 11th


Photography Appreciation

On my old blog, I wrote about my September 11th experience. 

As I mentioned before, my girlfriend at the time and I were seriously considering flying to the Big Apple from Buffalo the day before. Had we made the trip, we would have found ourselves deep in the middle of the chaos.

One photographer was deep in the middle of everything. Bill Biggart was an Irish-American freelance photojournalist best known for capturing the events that followed the attack on the World Trade Center. He was killed by falling debris from the World Trade Center North Tower.

Four days later, his remains along with this cameras and flash cards were discovered. His photos were used in the October 2001 issue of Newsweek.

You can read more about his story HERE.
