In a synthetic and phony event like the staged attack on the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001, the manipulation and control of the media product required that all of the professional news photographers there that day, whose work can be said to carry water for the official narrative, be in fact, key co-conspirators before the fact---part and parcel of the military manufactured hagiographic storyboard, a brilliantly conceived and executed psyop, which America was force fed, as cause for her to vomit out the madness of the immoral wars which followed.
Well known professional news photographers, like Will Morris and Hillery Smith Garrison of the AP, epitomize such corrupt foreknowledge, as they used their professional credibility to enhance the telling.
Two other well-known professionals though, Ron Sachs and Luke Frazza, both played the game and contradicted it. Essentially, their work is as banal as the rest, but it sometimes fights the narrative, revealing that they may have been "handled" by their military masters in unprofessional ways, but not shamefully so. Their wit and stealthy subversion redeems them.
On middle ground sits the grand dame of D.C. journalism---the Washington Post, whose employees, like James A. Parcell and Juana Arias, were perhaps unknowingly corrupted by the embedding authorities, turning their work as published into powerful coded inside jokes rather than truth telling.
The many employees of the Gannett newspaper and broadcasting chain who participated in aspects of 9/11, (they are legion,) represent a class of corruption and depravity in a league all by itself.
Likewise, the fireman who did some real work that day in taking photographs, were also painfully corrupted---just like the FBI, and FEMA workers who participated.
(I shouldn't forget to mention
James Nachtway and Thomas E. Franklin, whose photographic work at ground zero in New York City on 9/11 was as illegitimate and deceitful as Arlington---all the significant photographic record was a planned and controlled lie.)
This list is a work in progress, and doesn't claim to be comprehensive. Just a way I can organize some thoughts as I recover from the destruction of my study account by Flickr. (I'm actually up to 116 photographers!)
Alex Wong (Getty Staff) Took 17 repetitive variations of the same view from an elevated perch from across I-395, hence, he's safe from my accusations. At the

Bob Houlihan- See my

Brian Boisvert- a U.S. Air Force photographer. The name found at the
Smithsonian Institution, where they say in
September 11th: Bearing Witness to History: "This collection of approximately 1,600 images taken by Michael Garcia, Sgt. Brian Boisvert, and Cpl. Jason Ingersoll show the Pentagon immediately after the September 11 attack and during the following week.
They go on: "Context: As a member of the Pentagon’s Defense Protective Service, Michael Garcia, along with Sgt. Brian Boisvert, a U.S. Air Force photographer, and Marine Corps photographer Cpl. Jason Ingersoll had broad access to secure areas. Their images show firefighters battling the flames, destroyed offices, the cleanup, and aerial shots of the Pentagon."
His single image in the record that I can find can be viewed

Carmen Burgess, Sgt. A Heavy narrative worker. Took shots likely in advance of 9/11. One shot is of Rumsfeld returning to his office after grandstanding outside. Another is April Gallop and her baby, I believe. All utterly disconnected from anything remotely real.

a great new Courtney Platt blog. I parked my former commentary over at

Dan Bieleford http://danbielefeld.com/pentagonattack.asp semi-professional type from the Citgo area, with some access and action shots. An online album with about 20 shots of the aftermath. He lives in the same building as Dawn Vignola and Tim Timmerman, apparently---1600 S. Joyce! P.S. Dan and Courtney: what is all that burnt grass doing on the highways? It looks interesting. Dan's work is so generic and poor, especially when telling us about all those silly memorials, where the emotion I feel is anger! YOU HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH WHEN YOU MEMORIALIZE! LIKE 189 SHITTY TOILETS STRUNG UP IN STRINGS AND SUITABLE FOR NIGHT USE REMINDS ME OF THE TRUTH! HOW UGLY! AND WHO PICKED OUT THOSE TINY, CHEAP, DYING TREES?
Dan Lopez AP Photo/The Daily Progress, Put all of those words into Google and the first two images are shadows from my former Flickr account. They just look so damn generic and uninteresting. Wait a minute gang, we have a problem...put "Dan Lopez" "Daily Progress" in Google and only 49 hits return, mostly relating to 9/11. The other stuff (nice effort at credibility, I guess,) only goes up to 2003, 2004. So Danny boy isn't a real person, either? Even if Time Magazine publishes a credit, they're all anonymous shots and he makes a few bucks in the aftermath. He isn't another one of those Charlottesville VA Christian freaks too, is he? Well, I know the tune to this party song. One image stored

David Holloway The Potomac News, /AP Photo. Well I found
the David Holloway page. It's neat to see 15 mostly new-to-me images, even if they're the same old boring/generic. So David Holloway is an Arkansas native, who works as a staff photographer for the Potomac News in Woodbridge, Virginia, is it? Why don't I believe you? Google "David Holloway" + "Potomac News" but he gets only 9 hits! His page is good, except: more of those odd memorializations! (You people are so LOW BROW!) But at least I did learn what Arlington Fire Captain Scott McKay looks like, (you know, for the tribunals,) and I was glad to learn "Roosevelt Bridge was the only way across the Potomac river for hours after the attack on the Pentagon." So, thank you. I
archive.org-ed this site to see when these shots went up: May 19, 2003. So, look like generic news pictures, posted to a vanity web site, as we ramped up to war in Iraq. Got it, David. I did a little exploring over at David's Newsium page, following links to sites like the aggregator,
World Tribune, and I must say, I don't think I have ever found myself in such an ideologically fixed and relentless world before. Much of it was stimulating, as it seems to attract high-functioning types, but after a bit, all the war mongering just seemed forlorn.
Dean Tills Along with Paul Marshall, unheard of before the publication in 2008 of Patrick Creed and Rick Newman's book,

Janet Clements Is the Virginia Department of Emergency Management
(VDEM) photographer who seeks "interoperability strategy using a comprehensive approach" to "facilitate interdepartmental communications," in other words:
crime family, I mean, taking orders and keeping secrets---two of my worst human failings. In my hometown of Southampton, New York, a similar initiative was successfully undertaken post 9/11, which resulted in getting the town police, its code enforcement officers, and the various volunteer fire departments onto the same, one "team." This was accomplished by elevating the former dog catcher...I mean, animal control officer, to a new $200,000 a year position supervising the whole cabal...I mean...shebang, including the chief of police who has an office safe filled with the most amazing local stories. This way, our public safety officers can "work together," or "pull together,unlike what occurred in New York City on 9/11, when every police officer was able to make it out of Tower 1 alive, but over 100 firemen didn't.
Jason Ingersoll (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.) (Released) Ingersoll was an official player who took approximately 200 images available in the public record. Supposedly, he walked down from the Navy Annex, was on the scene shooting in the critical first half-hour. He captured the high-resolution shots of The Lloyd England Hour on the highway. His is the only record of the MWAA foam application. (Needs citation.) He is my personal hero for snapping Will Morris in action amongst other sterling results, as well as capturing without recognition, the shells of spent munitions seen in the foreground of a damaged Pentagon.
My blog about Jason.
Jay Mallin – 17 shots on the 11th, a few more on subsequent days, some quite close up, all found at
Picture Desk International Seen at the Virginian Pilot. Mr. Mallin is a very talented photographer. On one level, his shots are just like everybody elses, however his live and breathe a rarer atmosphere. He gets his humans to kinetically express themselves before he snaps the shutter, while most of the rest wait until their backs are turned and faces obscured by apparatus. His FBI agents are in a class by themselves. He even gathers a small medical triage vignette successfully in his lens. His stretcher bearers look more like Irish step dancers, and nary a hand is seen on a hip anywhere. Very clever.
Jeff Aitken Somewhere along the line I copied the following but no longer have a file of the pictures: [
These photos were taken by Jeff Aitken - SRA International's Membership, Finance and Web Site Coordinator - soon after American Airlines Flight 77 out of Dulles International crashed into the Pentagon. Jeff is the proprietor of Available Light Photography. Please contact Jeff if you are interested in using any of the photos.] SRA is the Society of Research Administrators. However, a Mickey Adai would appear to be the proprietor of

Jeff Franko -One aerial shot published in "

The Manassas News & Messenger and
The Potomac News. Three images attributed to Jeff can be found at his
commercial photography web site. The images appear
on a page where he says he was on staff at the Gannett News Service, and they appear to have been taken from the Gannett tower in Roslyn. Although, the interestingly named Franko has been to Iraq for Gannett in 2004, and the Athens Olympics, these images, dated only between April 2003 and March 2005, along with a further Google search, don't appear to construct a legitimate professional photojournalism context.

Paul Haring -WAPO published one of his images, along with a Courtney Platt image,
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/attack/pentagon/10.htm and they are both labeled to "washingtonpost.com" rather than "The Washington Post." Platt and Haring have something else in common too, in addition to both being wedding photographers---along with scores of others involved in the plots, they self-identity as proclaimed fundamentalist or evangelical Christians---a unifying and corrupting "team building" attribute and organizing principle for the working class participants if ever I saw one--especially since the goal became to blame extremist Muslims for the crime. A thread at Progressive Independent,
Fundie Xians and 9/11 lists over 50 such individuals at just the Pentagon alone. Washington sure is a company town. The Military district of Washington
posted eight Haring images.
Haring took 16 images, which can be found at
his commercial web site. His bio says he works as a photo editor and photographer for Catholic News Service in Washington, but prior to this gig he "spent almost five years as a photographer covering the U.S. military." It is unclear if Haring was with CNS at the time of the 9/11 attack, but we are told "he was one of the first photographers on the scene of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the Pentagon." His "background in photojournalism, especially covering religion" sounds as loose a credential as "covering the U.S. military."
Now this would make Russell
Pickering's page, where he describes Paul Haring as a "Pentagon Staff Photographer," as possibly constituting a dissembling feint. The title seems as made-up as the other two. I am glad Haring is successful at "capturing dynamic images from ceremonies such as weddings, baptisms and other sacred events," however, 9/11 at the Pentagon was not a sacred event, in my opinion.
Paul Hosefros of The New York Times. A generic photo from the Citgo published on the front page of the NYT, and one of the last names to make it on the list, proving something---what?
Paul Marshall Unheard of before the publication of Patrick Creed and Rick Newman's book,
Firefight,
Inside the Battle to Save the Pentagon on 9/11, one of the 16 pages of extremely low-resolution black-and-white images is attributed to an Arlington County firefighter by this name. The caption reads, "Denis Griffin (kneeling) directs a stream of water into the blaze from the open-air service road that runs through the building. Photo: Paul Marshall"

He wound his way down from the Navy Annex on 9/11, and got right down into the action. He appeared on the news station FOX5 on September 11, 2001 during the 7:38 pm - 8:19 pm segment, which is still available
at archive.org. He comes on near the end, about the 39:34 mark, which would be about 8:18pm in real EDT.. It is well worth the visit if this sort of thing is your bag. About a dozen stereotypical views and then some fresh material. I think all the pictures were taken by a committee of robots actually. Just kidding.

I realized I originally stole this page from Russell Pickering, but he only had 43 photographers and I'm up to 109 (114 as of May 27, "09!) doing a clean count. The greatest present anybody could ever give me is a new name for my list---with juicy authentication, and some nasty details would be nice too. I dare say, I am providing some clarity in a sorely troubled world with this work. Kudos to you Steven!
What great luck! I stumbled into
http://web.archive.org/web/*sr_1nr_10/http://jccc.afis.osd.mil/* where I found the original source for about 100 of the more famous, high-resolution images taken on 9/11, which were originally posted on September 18, 2001, at the jccc.afis.osd.mil website, which I do believe, stands for the
Joint Combat Camera Center, American Forces Information Service, Office of the Secretary of Defense. How ya doin guys? Ya votin for Palin?
