rp-shooter (2006)

At the time of the first anniversary of 9/11, I was sitting on a chair in the living room flipping through TV channels trying to find a program to watch. I stopped the remote at images showing people being killed.  After watching for a few minutes, I wanted to capture those images on black and white film. Quickly, I loaded a roll of TRI-X 400 film in a Pentax K1000 manual camera, put the camera on a tripod, set up a raking light, and began shooting the images presenting themselves on the TV screen.   
Over the next few months, I randomly photographed segments of terrorist documentaries and news programs showing on the living room TV.  I clicked the shutter randomly just as a terrorist shoots at a random target.
