After I graduated from photography school in 2007, I went and worked with a photo-journalist in New York. Instead of doing stuff like scanning and archiving for him, he gave me an assignment. At first we weren’t sure what I should spend time covering, but after I showed him some of the shots I took when I visited different places around the city, he thought continuing with the shots I took at Ground Zero would give me a little bit of the best insight being a real documentary photographer. I was lucky enough to have him critique my work after the way they he said they do at National Geographic or the New Yorker, which he had first hand experience with.
There isn’t a lot I can write about spending so much time there being an observer. I’m much better at expressing how I feel through the images I take. I think if you take a look at this little bit of work I did you will see for yourself how much residual emotion lies there with the people, and the location itself.
Fabulous, very touching.
