For this exercise I took around ninety photos over the course of an hour and a half‚ attempting to portray some of the happenings and elements at the 9/11 Memorial.

“There are no words” These were the words that were spoken on live TV in front of the entire nation on September 11‚ 2001. The exact moment those words were said is marked the second that America changed forever. Prior to 9/11 Americans thought they were untouchable.

Without falling into jingoism or being over-sentimental‚ Robert Pinsky’s poem "9/11" generates a commendable ode to the spirit that drives this country‚ in addition to revealing the American culture for what it truly is enthusiastic and frivolous‚ courageous and fallible‚ petty and resilient.
