Title A name given to the resource "Satan in the Smoke" Emails Description An account of the resource On the morning of September 11, immediately after two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in Manhattan, photojournalist Mark D. Phillips took a picture that would prove to be one of the most evocative and disputed images of that tragic day. Many peple later construed the image of the smoke in his photo of the burning buildings to compose the face of Satan. These e-mails related to this picture provide a revealing portal into Americans' responses to the attacks in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Mark, I'd love to talk to you on the phone. What is your phone number or is it on the website? I am writing a textbook on multimedia journalism and I think it would be a fascinating study however it comes out. Yes, it is difficult to be in the middle of a controversy when you feel you were just trying to do your job well. There's several techniques to examining validity. The histogram through PhotoShop also tells much about adjustments. Were you using the Olympus E-10? If so, what do you think of the camera? Send me your phone number if you would like to talk. I am a newspaper adviser for the daily paper at Arizona State University and a journalism instructor at the Cronkite School of Journalism. -- Julie Knapp stpress@home.com >From: "Mark D.

How would you study the validity? I really am interested. I have been shooting digital since its inception. Without a negative, how do we guarantee the validity of an image? Olympus told me there is header info on the file that will verify the file. I didn't know this. This is something I have been waiting to happen, the industry saying a photo isn't real, I just never imagined I would be the one caught in the middle of it. >I really can't let this file out right now. It is like sending your negative out. Please give me a call. I would like to talk about this. >Sincerely, >Mark >>Mark, I teach digital journalism and would love the original file to use in my classroom so we could look at it in its original format and study the validity. Would you allow this? If so, could you e-mail the file to me? I would be glad to provide credentials, letter on letterhead, etc., if needed.
