Rarely Seen Photographs from the September 11th Attacks

11 years ago digital cameras were not as common as they are today. They were expensive or bulky and took low quality photographs. There were also very few ways to publish your photographs online for many people to see. Contrast that to today where anyone that owns a cellphone has a decent quality still picture camera and can post an image online in front of thousands of people within seconds after capturing it. When the events of 9/11 took place there was a flood of photographs taken by professional photographers and members of the press, but you didn’t see many featured photographs that were taken by everyday people because of the limitations on technology and the internet at the time.
