[Leica] OT: photography on Nightline tonight

[Adam Bridge <abridge@idea-processing.com>]

Tonight ABC's Nightline broadcast will feature the ground zero photograph of
... well I'll let them tell you. Here's a quote from the Nightline mailing for
today:

    Joel Meyerowitz, a well-known photographer, was concerned that, if left
    only to our memories, those images would be lost forever. In the early
    days, the police would not allow anyone to take pictures of Ground Zero,
    declaring it a crime scene. As I said above, he was finally able to talk
    his way in, armed with a box camera, similar to what the early
    photographers used around the time of the Civil War, and about as
    portable. He went down there day after day after day. His pictures, even
    though we think we have seen about all there is to see, are truly
    striking. I know a picture is supposed to be worth a thousand words, but
    it is really the stories that accompany the pictures that make tonight's
    broadcast so special. It's the small moments. A cloud of butterflies
    around the firefighters as they find the body of a fallen comrade. But
    what the picture of that moment didn't show? One of the firefighters
    turned to the other, indicating the butterflies, and said "Souls." Robert
    Krulwich will introduce you to Joel, his pictures, and his stories,
    tonight. It is truly a very moving broadcast.

Should be good.
