AP Photographer Stands By His Work
Story by Susan Wells and Jack Maher

September 28, 2001 - 4:40pm

In the photo from the Associated Press, many claim they see a strange shape in the clouds of smoke in the photo. They say they can see eyes, a nose, a mouth and horns. Others say they see heavenly images above the face.

The AP photo was transmitted within 40 minutes of the attack by freelancer Mark D. Phillips who had been working with the AP for 15 years. Barbara Moike was the editor on the AP picture desk that morning and told 9NEWS that AP has a very strict written policy which prohibits the alteration of content of a photo in any way.

Phillips spoke with 9NEWS after the photo was published and said the morning of the attacks, he climbed up to the roof of his apartment building in Brooklyn where he has an unobstructed view of Manhattan and the World Trade Center. As he climbed on to the roof, Phillips heard the second plane hit the WTC. He began snapping pictures on several of his cameras, including a digital camera.

The Associated Press contacted Phillips and he sent them some of the photos he took. He looked at the photos, but never noticed a face or any images. He awoke the next day to 160 emails about the face in his photograph. He has received hundreds of emails from people across the country who want to share their thoughts about the picture.


Phillips stands by his photo and says he has been a journalist for 25 years and would never alter a photo. He says he has the original digital photo untouched, with the date and time.


A separate, color smoke photo that many say also contains a satanic face has been broadcast by 9News, CNN and several other news organizations. While Phillips didn't take that picture, he says, like his photo, it is what it is, and people are free to read whatever they want to into it.
