You know he was probably beating himself up about being late, thinking that he just fucked his future plans, only to realize being late is the reason he has a future at all. Holy fuck

I’ve spent the last twenty-five years searching for the people in my photo. I’ve found ten. This is Benjamin. He was late for a job interview in the World Trade Center.

This is Craig, Ryan, and Sharon. Craig’s son reached out to me a few years ago. He said Craig worked in the World Trade Center and was rushing to a pay phone to call home. Sharon’s niece contacted me in 2022. She said her Sharon survived the attack in 1993 and was on the 32nd floor of the North Tower. Recognize anyone? Help me find the rest.

9:59 a.m., September 11, 2001. Bodies were falling. The South Tower began to collapse. I turned around. This is what I saw.

Whatever else September 11 did, it ushered in the age of global simultaneity. The whole world, literally, was watching. Never before had more people seen the same news event at the same moment. An estimated two billion people or more—a third of the species—saw the attacks in real time or watched coverage in that day’s news reports. Vanity Fair’s David Friend chronicles the impact of 9/11 on an already image-saturated media ecosystem: vanityfair.visitlink.me/5WvH…

My essay on how the world, war, and media changed that dreadful day, which shaped the grave and global impact of the digital age vanityfair.com/story/how-9-1…

9/11 Changed the World in Many Ways. It Also Spawned the Digital Media Era

With shock and awe, the attacks altered an already image-saturated media ecosystem—and so much more.

Of the thousands of photos I’ve edited of White House Press Secretary @karolineleavitt, this is one of my favorites. A quiet moment with @POTUS in the Cross Hall, photographed by Joyce Boghosian. She’ll be missed.

Of all the Dolly Parton photos that have resurfaced, this 1973 Polaroid by @chrissteinplays is my absolute favorite

I photographed Lindsey Graham for @thestate newspaper back in 1999. He had a great sense of humor. RIP.
