Images Of
The Aftermath

l oel Meyerowitz, an award-
winning reality photographer
ihimi who has been represented
in 15 books and 350 exhibits, opens
- Ground Zero to people around the
world with a new, large-sized pictorial,
Aftermath: World Trade Center
Archive (Phaidon; $75).
Meyerowitz, known for urban and
country images, visited the site of the
World Trade Center each day for nine
months after the attack to capture the
people working there and the tasks
they faced. He was the only photog-
rapher granted unimpeded access to
.
the site.
At first denied the opportunity he
sought, Meyerowitz persevered with
the help of the Museum of the City of
New York.
Some of the images were previewed
four years ago in a Grand Rapids
exhibit at the Gerald R. Ford Museum.
"More than anything, I wanted to
make a historical record that would
serve future generations who were
curious about the aftermath of the
attack," says Meyerowitz, 68. "When
the city administration said that
nobody could go in and take photos, I

thought that was a crime against his-
tory.
"Over the nine months I spent there,
I observed healing, recovery, salvation
and reclamation. There was a human
effort that was very positive, despite all
the destruction and death."
The book holds 400 photos and text
written by Meyerowitz. The images are
presented in chronological order.
During his 40-year career, the pho-
tographer has not taken pictures of
particularly Jewish subjects but thinks
his religious background automati-
cally enters into his work.
"All of the street photography I have
done has a particularly Jewish point of
view," he says. "Jews, in a sense, have
been the outsiders in most societies
that they occupy. They come in as
immigrants, fight their way up and
sense some kind of discrimination.
"In my work, and in the work of
other Jewish photographers, there is
the point of view of the outsider, the
little guy commenting on life in the
larger culture's precinct."
