And what was really astonishing to me
00:00:02
was all the angles and the people and
00:00:04
the citizens there putting themselves in
00:00:06
harm's way to take these pictures.
00:00:08
Right? This woman in the pink jacket,
00:00:10
there's a woman in a car. There's
00:00:11
there's every angle of this thing.
00:00:13
There's a woman in a car straight on.
00:00:15
There's one across the street. There's
00:00:16
one in front of him. There's one on the
00:00:18
other side. These people don't
00:00:19
understand. We see you. We see what
00:00:22
you're doing. The power of digital is
00:00:24
really strong. You see, people see it. I
00:00:27
don't understand why these people don't
00:00:28
think cell phones exist in this world.
