Stepping Through the Ashes
A lone fireman stands partway up a mountain of gnarled metal and debris, while nearby smoke wafts up from underneath the pile--it could be the gateway to hell. Award-winning photographer Richards (Americans We, etc.) presents a powerful and evocative collection of images of the aftermath of the World Trade Center collapse: black-and-white photos allow him to use light and shadow to great effect, complemented by dramatic interviews that writer and documentary producer Altongy conducted with survivors and relatives of victims.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
