Contemplation at Ground Zero Photo

Photographer’s Note

My wanderings around the streets of Lower Manhattan inevitably resulted in me arriving at this decade dominating spot on earth - life goes on in abundance around it but somehow the focus on first encountering it becomes a very internalized experience - at times like this I wish my imagination around a sense of place was less vivid but there were so many quieter emotions too. ........I wasn't the only one..........

Hi Kev. Ground zero is a big issue. Your photo shows the subtle analysis of this event. Well done. Regards, Wolfgang.

Good afternoon Kev,
simple photograph with unaffected reflection.
Yes, the life is like the smoke from the pipe.
Has the taste, smell and is passing with the wind...

Your photograph won't leave the spectator indifferent.
Isn't screaming, is demonstrating silence is heavy...

Stirring photo.
Thanks awfully!

regards from Krakow, iza

You are definitely working on a small series...a project..maybe..i see a trend in posts..thought provoking..alot more than just the photography...

this frame can only be interpreted in one way..it gives only one story...the only story..good piece of documentation..

as a lucky member of the century, you make me gape in awe, with the places you visit and aftermath events you witness.
recent half of your gallery is more into photojournalism. the other half is more arty.
i like them both, i like the way how you manage them all.

Hi Kev,
yes, it was a special experience to visit this place, I´ve been exactly at this spot. You could see more about the tragedy in the people´s faces than in the hole with the tower cranes. Your picture contains both aspects and gives a good impression of this special mood.
Compliments, Christian
