        My Response to The Falling Man Photo,


         
         I think this picture is so important because it is a way of showing someone dying without being shot or have any blood gushing out. The photographer said, "This is one of the only photos taken showing someone actually dying", no other picture showed that. This is one of the best and the rarest pictures taken from that day. The thing that stands out the most is his position while he is falling, he is almost straight down towards the earth. This is very different from any photo taken from that day, every other photo has explosions, disaster, and smoke. The man in the picture looked as if he was embracing death. His fall looked graceful, and smooth. Unlike anyone else that was falling out of the buildings.
