Steve Simon’s Empty Sky Explores the Immediate Post-9/11 NYC

It seems almost inconceivable that the attack on the Twin Towers occurred 18 years ago, given the fact that many of us still remember everything that happened on that fateful Tuesday morning so vividly as if it had just transpired.

When we look back on the World Trade Center attack, we tend to see a lot of images of the Ground Zero itself along with the Twin Towers during and after the incident. If you were to look for images of the periphery and of the people drawn towards the area, there's a chance that the photos were captured by photojournalist Steve Simon. Steve was actually scheduled to fly back to New York on September 11th and wound up returning a week later. His project, titled Empty Sky: The Pilgrimage to Ground Zero, is part of the 9/11 Memorial Museum's permanent collection and focuses on the people looking towards and drawn to where the Twin Towers once stood, and the sweeping emotions that overwhelmed the air in the surrounding area in lower Manhattan. He has kindly taken time out of his busy schedule to recount his experiences while working on Empty Sky in the days and weeks immediately following the tragic events that transpired on September 11th, 2001. .

Film Emulsion Review: Kodak TMax P3200 (35mm, New Version)

It started with Kodak teasing the new Kodak TMax P3200 on Instagram and Twitter--much unlike Ektachrome, Kodak TMax P3200 is actually real and you can buy it immediately. Indeed, they brought it back from the dead as the black and white film world was severely lacking in any sort of variety when it came to high ISO black and white films.

The Digital Photographer’s Introduction to Kodak Film

If you're a photographer that only recently got into film, you'll need to understand a number of things about Kodak. The once mighty company still makes and manufactures film but their coffers are nowhere as large as they used to be.

Film Emulsion Review: Ilford Delta 400 (35mm and 120)

While I really do enjoy the look of Kodak Tri-X 400, almost nothing in black and white has made me drool like Ilford Delta 400.  Ilford Delta 400 I always felt delivered those inky, beautiful black levels that I've alway been smitten with.
