The Philadelphia Inquirer

A completely new resource for me is a six-year-old web effort at awarding honors for taking pictures on September 11, 2001. The Best of Photojournalism 2002 > Still Photography Entries > Attack on America Picture Story > The Philadelphia Inquirer

At least this ten-item entry has some character, starting off with two up-market identifications---as in, projections, not actual identifications. Universally not identifying the firemen is especially noticeable when the image is a clear close-up portrait of one---or when it is of a firewoman. Color theory---used so successfully in Arlington---must not have flown here in/at the pit/pile. The gold applied to a beam end in one image is very exciting, but we are only allowed 20.83KB's of it.
