Moving. There are pictures in this volume I haven't seen before. And the project this book is based on is remarkable.

It was incredible to be a part of this initiative to help fundraise for victims and their families of the 9/11 crisis

I had to have this book when I saw the documentary about it. When one photo next to a heart wrenching quote turned into a storefront plastered with images. Taken by anyone and everyone. There are no names, no photo credits. I specifically remember a woman going in the storefront with her father, slowing re living that horrible day -stopping at one photo. It was of her. Taken on 9/11. She didn't even know who took it.
And Some images are more graphic than you may have seen before.
But this book is a treasure for some.

9/11 book.

A brilliantly raw attempt to make sense of an event that cannot be truly comprehended... simultaneously a form of catharsis and a tragic work of art.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration of these other worldly powdered space people trying to survive on this fearful and dangerous planet.
