The Standoff on January 6
A definitive moment from the attack on the Capitol in 2021, captured by four photographers.
Two years after the January 6 attack on the Capitol, the moment Officer Eugene Goodman faced down an angry mob endures. Four photographers captured the tense standoff - the most widely seen taken by Ashley Gilbertson for The New York Times Magazine.
Gilbertson’s instantly-iconic photo of Officer Goodman made the rounds again in December 2021 after multiple (obviously) fake TIME magazine “Person of the Year” covers went viral.
