Ground Zero, New York, 19th February 2006
15/07/2006 by admin.
Ground Zero, New York, 19th February 2006. Four and a half years on, Ground Zero is now a massive construction site, with little visible evidence remaining of the catastrophic events of 11th September 2001. Originally, it was only possible to see the site of the World Trade Center from a special viewing platform, but it is now visible from many vantage points. From the atrium of the Winter Garden in the World Financial Center across the street, visitors look down on the whole site. The atmosphere is sombre, quiet, and thoughtful, similar to the inside of a church. Ground Zero has recently made the news again in the US, as a judge ruled that a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of residents, students, and workers in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn can proceed with allegations that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), made misleading statements about the safety of the air in the aftermath of the collapse of the buildings.

George Galloway Addresses Respect Meeting
15/07/2006 by admin.
George Galloway, MP for Bethnal Green & Bow, addresses a meeting of the Respect coalition at Liverpool’s Gladstone Hotel, 07.02.2006.
George Galloway has become something of a figure of fun since his antics in Celebrity Big Brother, but he is one of the most recognised politicians in the UK since appearing on the show, so I considered him a valid subject for the assignment. I originally posted the image in black & white, but as Getty seem to only use colour, I re-posted the colour version. I tried to utilise the railings in the background to create a graphic effect, perhaps to invoke the bars of the cell he was held in, during his recent trip to Egypt. I selected a frame with the hand close into his body to allow a picture editor to crop in tight if required.
