historicpicturess: This picture was taken at 09.41 am on 9/11/2001 and it’s just one of a series of pictures of people that chose to jump off the World Trade Center. The author Richard Drew said: “And there are at least eight or nine shots of this man in various positions. In the moment this picture was taken he was in a perfect position, a straight arrow between the two buildings. I didn’t take it. That frame is the work of the camera. It ad that symmetry, that something that catches your sight”. Mark T. Thompson (theologian) commented: “The most powerful representation of despair taken at the beginning of the 21st century that you can find in art, literature, or folk music. All in one picture.” -- source link
