	Mark D Phillips    Mark D Phillips career has spanned many changes both in his industry and in his personal work.    Working as a photojournalist for over 25 years, he witnessed many of the major events that spanned that period. Over the years, he has photographed many of our world leaders. In 1994, he traveled to South Africa to witness the end of apartheid and Nelson Mandela's election as the first black president. He has traveled to nearly every corner of the world.    In 2001, he became witness to one of the worst events in US history as he captured an image of the attack on The World Trade Center that became known as "Satan in the Smoke." The eerie image was viewed worldwide over the Internet, in newspapers, and in exhibitions. He has received thousands of emails about the photograph.    "As a photojournalist, you always wanted to capture the image that everyone sees and talks about," said Phillips. "It was a humbling experience."    His images of The World Trade Center prior to the attack are some of his favorite images.    A resident of Brooklyn for over 18 years, he has photographed the borough, particularly South Brooklyn, extensively. His company, South Brooklyn Internet, is the producer of The South Brooklyn Network. "I love the area and its collection of small businesses," he said. "I want to bring my Internet experience to the people of this area."    Phillips began working with the Internet in 1993, forming a company called PHORUM with five former staff photographers from the Augusta Chronicle. The company was an early innovator bringing digital technology to the corporate world.    Read the first chapter of "Is it Real?
