Geoffroy de Boismenu - Image System #159

Title: Image System #159
Year: 1993
Location: Staten Island ferry, New York, USA

I used the Polaroid Image System box a lot. Whenever I had a job, I ordered a good supply of Polaroid film which I then used sparingly. I kept them all religiously, scanned them with very high resolution to make very large prints and finally published them in two books at RGB Books: Image System #1 and #2.

When I started editing the first volume of Image System published by RGB Books, I went through all the Polaroids I had in stock.

I was shocked when I came across this one. A dozen years had passed since 9/11 and this photo, which was not particularly interesting at the time, was suddenly striking. Everything was there: the blue sky, the Twins Towers, the plane clearly visible in front of its white cloud heading towards them.
