Part 2/9:
Jeff describes the pivotal moment when he witnessed the horrific events unfold. He recalls capturing a photograph of one of the planes crashing into the Twin Towers, a picture that, despite being cropped for publication, carried significance far beyond what was printed. He portrays how photographs can be manipulated, questioning the authenticity and clarity of images that emerged in the aftermath of the disaster.
“It was like a long shot,” he reflects, explaining that the full frame of his photo included not just the towers but also the skyline that surrounded them. This broad perspective contrasts sharply with the iconic images the world has come to know—shots tightly cropped to fit newsprint.
