JFK, I'm curious to what the gentleman found unusual in the landing gear photo. I exchanged an email with a retired Air Force investigator, his last name was Nelosn. He had an opinion about one of the photos, I don't remember exactly, but he didn't believe one of the airplane part photos came from a 767. He also wanted to see the negatives but I explained I no longer had them. I was contacted by a guy who wanted to buy the negatives. I explained all my photos were all over the internet for free and even offered to mail him a copy of all my Ground Zero photos. He offered me alot of money for the negatives and it was a time when I was unemployed. I sold the negatives to him. We meet at the Millenium Hotel lobby when it reopened. He looked at the negatives and was mostly concerned with the airplane debris photos. I explained that many of the photos were copyrighted with myself and Corbis. He didn't care, it was strange in hindsight, he handed me an envelope with all new one hundred dollar bills. I often wonder if he was with the government. As you are aware, my photos of the airplane debris has never been released by anyone else. Not even the FBI or in the 911 Commission investigation. In answer to what kind of camera I used. It was a small regular camera I had gotten from my Marlboro cigarette miles. The editor of Corbis was furious with me waiting a month before bringing the picture to him. He said if I contacted him while I was at Ground Zero he would have had his photographers give me professional equipment, especially for all the ariel shots I took on the scaffolds and roof tops. The Corbis editor said he would have paid me $25,000 or more just for the landing gear photos if I brought them to him the day I took them. I never realized at the time of the photos importance, I had already donated many of them to the 911 Photo Project and dozens of websites. Even now 7 years later I give away my amatuer CD to people who still ask for it free. So please let me know what your friend found so unusual about the landing gear photo.
