»When my niece sent me this book, I finally comprehended what she, and
everyone else in New York City, went through around 9/11. It was the grea-
test gift she could have given me. Much more than anything on television or
in the newspapers, it helped me understand.«
- Sean Elwood, Los Angeles, CA

»The dreadful attacks were recorded in the most democratic of ways ­ by
thousands of photographers, amateur and professional, whose work has
been gathered in this extraordinary new book.«
- The Sunday Telegraph Magazine, London

Here is New York was founded in response to the events of September 11,
and to the flood of images that resulted from it. The idea was simple: to pre-
sent images of the event by as many different people and from as many
different perspectives as possible. In the days following September 11, the
organisers asked for pictures and were inundated with slides, negatives,
prints, and digital files from photographers of every description, not only top
photojournalists and other professionals, but rescue workers, firemen, cops,
school children, and amateurs of every kind. In order to underline that it was
the images themselves that mattered, rather than their makers, the photographs
were all digitally scanned, printed out in exactly the same format, and hung
from wires without attribution nor frames in a Prince St store front. The book
Here is New York (for visual of the book visit: http://www.scalo.com) is the
most comprehensive and authentic document of what occurred. It bears
witness to what seemed unimaginable, and it memorializes the people who
perished and the rescue workers who served so courageously. Most of all,
the book is a testimony of people speaking directly to each other about their
fears, their emotions, and their desire for community. This desire is one of
the strongest by-products of the horrible events of September 11th. It is also
what distinguishes Here is New York from any and all other books about the
event.
