Hi Everyone.
Haven't been around here in ages, but glad to be back. I was reading a great article today that I'd heartily recommend. It is all about that famous photograph of the falling man from 9/11, and how that picture and others like it have been basically been banished from the record of events, at least in the US. Anyway, while reading the article I obviously was looking at the picture, and what struck me was how much it resembled the figure in the twelfth card, the Hanged Man. It is interesting to think about what the author of the article writes about our unwillingness to bear witness to the death of those that jumped that day in light of the card. The article is fairly long, but definitely worth the time to read. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on the relationship of the two images.
Here is the link to the article:
