Here Is New York

In the weeks after 9/11, I found myself visiting a small storefront in Soho that had been transformed into a gallery with a running exhibit entitled "Here Is New York: A Democracy of Photographs". Anyone with photos of 9/11 related events, including the long aftermath in the city (the missing, the flags, the memorials, etc) could contribute their pictures, which were then hung up in the (increasingly crowded) gallery space. Pictures could be purchased for $25, and the proceeds went to charity. The photographs are still very moving today, now five years on. The site is here, and I urge readers to view them if interested. You can search too by "category" via a drop-down menu here.
