Perhaps one of these days I’ll take on a project specifically geared toward telling a story about an aspect of December 7, 1941. In a world where September 11, 2001 seems to be losing some of it’s impact I think it is important to remember the original day of infamy. One event is no more or less important than the other. Both came as a surprise to the masses. Both had consequences around the world. Both changed the course of history and many thousands died in the process. The image, below with the flag, came from the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor. I shot this image when I last visited home in 2003. The other two images, above & below, were shot this past October when I spent the afternoon in DC visiting, among other landmarks, the WWII Memorial.
