Description:

The editors’ description of the cover: "American Photo has devoted the heart of its September/October issue to an 18-page oral history of 9/11/01 based on the recollections of the photographers who risked their lives to cover the story. Though there was no shortage of iconic images we could have used, in this case, we felt less was more. The somber black and white image (shot by NYU student Yoni Brook) projected a reflective calm and quiet emblematic of the story we were telling. After much internal discussion, we opted to remove all cover lines apart from the minimalist one you see here."

Critique:

Nicely done. Brings back those devastating memories on when the tragedy occurred. The way the firefighter is standing in the middle looking down at the ruble beneath him. Though you can only see the silhouette of him you can feel that sorrow and pain. Not to mention how the photography is in black and white giving it that flashback short of feeling when you remember things from the past.
