Thomas E. Franklin made one of the iconic images from the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks of three fire fighters raising a flag amidst the rubble of the collapsed World Trade Center. To mark the tenth anniversary of that horrible day, he has put together a short documentary that talks to several of the photojournalists who were there that day....

The Sky Cowboys

Great piece by Damon Winter for the New York Times on ironworkers changing the skyline of New York. Beautifully shot, but pay close attention to the audio work – he layering of sounds, the pacing of the voices, the tight, tight editing … all done by one of my former classmates, Pamela Chen. You could close your ideas and still...

Nothing Lasts Forever, Except for What You Make

Here’s a weird pairing of readings for your lunch hour … Scott Bourne over at Going Pro is talking about changes, things disappearing and what will last forever. Which, according to him, is not your business but what it produces. There’s some comfort in that. And once you’ve pondered that, take a run through Jonathan Blaustein’s tale of his visit...
