i liked the texture these images seens to have .
9/11 is a moment many of us will not forget, just like the day JFK was killed, or December 7, 1941. There will be similar moments that will define a generation and possible a nation.
Thank you for sharing Kevin Bubriski's work with us.

ELIZABETH-
Loved all of your recent features.
I loved the images of the Nepalese villagers.
It is rather Penn-esque approach--and I know how easy it looks, and how hard it is to first of all find 'stylish' and photogenic villagers who will allow themselves to be photographed and have the patience to do it, or the time away from tending the fields or walking their supplied up the mountains.
I applaud those who can make the hard-scrabble life of Afghanis or Nepalis or India ladies look sweet and glamorous and happy and chic...it takes professionalism, a team, superb technique, finding and approaching the subjects (exacting) and then making a beautiful classic image.
Your recent images have been compelling and original.
happy days, http://www.thestylesaloniste.com
Interesting to see how the children and women in the first two photos stand and hold one another. Very powerful in black and white. :)bea
For months on end it was impossible to look in the direction of the World Trade Center. A pain would dwell in one's heart upon having a glimpse of the empty space..and for weeks on end dust just kept on settling on everything..tomorrow, 8 years. Seems like just a moment ago, doesn't it?
Des photos superbes bravo j'adore
Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you so much for sharing those wonderful photos with us. :)
Betty
Nothing like B&W!
love the top image! great postings as always...hope you're enjoying our "indian summer."
To Bea (several posts above): Kevin Bubriski is a master documentary photographer. I chose the two images of the younger and older women holding one another as this post was on 9/11. My choices should not reflect Kevin's wide-range of subject matter. Check out his website.
