Chip East: the digital artist behind "Bill Biggart"?
In the video clip below, Chip tells his remarkable story. He was just a news computer graphics guy stationed in NYC working with photoshop and digital computer imagery to show the "cause and effect" side of things in documentaries. He hit it off in class with a barely noticeable (didn't exist?) super-quiet Bill Biggart (R.I.P), who happened to be a real photographer (not a computer graphics storyteller, like Chip), and they became buddies.

Chip's pal Bill Biggart (R.I.P.) was a real shutterbug who walked all around NYC on 9/11, and sadly, he got squashed and burnt while taking photos. But fortunately they found on his charred body in the rubble a backpack full of photos! Can you believe it? It's true because they have a picture of his bag here:
Here is Bill's poor widow Wendy going through some recovered items:

It turns out that Chip East is no small fry "Jimmy Olsen" type of of photojournalist, his photo credits often include shots of the UN Security Council and internationally famous politicians.
In this link to a roundtable discussion of the digital media, Chip admits the lack of validation behind digital audio, video, still, and text in news "footage" and raises the issue of importance on keeping such graphics believable.

Bill Biggart's photos were picked up and promoted by "curator" George Azar, another "fotojournalist" who also has a track record of many lucky photos (for Aljazeera, etc.).

That website claims Bill Biggart was an active photojournalist with "Impact Visuals" however photo credits are scarce. That site claims he took photos for "Ireland: A Week in the Life of A Nation" in 1986, but his name does not appear with the book in a google search.

Admin notice (simonshack): Dear WmCooper99, I have allowed myself to edit this post of yours - just by making your photo links become visible - and by changing your original thread title from "Obscure Propaganda" to "The Phony 9/11 Photographers". Hope that's ok with you!
But that bit from Santiago Lyon (Director of Photography, The Associated Press) halfway through, really got me — so the public "erupted and said 'that's not possible'" about a "one-eyed kitten"?! 
Needs to change the spelling of his name to Lyin'
