History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

NOTE:
You may click any picture in this blog to view it on its' own screen.

His Final Picture

Bill Biggart was a photo journalist working in New York City on September 11, 2001 where he was killed when Tower #2 of the World Trade Center collapsed. When his photographic equipment was recovered from Ground Zero, the digital card from  his camera was found to be intact. Shown below, Tower #2 falling, which proved to be the last image recorded on Bill Biggart's camera before he perished.
