“Silence and Dust, 9/11 Memorial, 2002” On the first Anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks, rescue workers formed a circle on Ground Zero for a minute of silence. At that moment, a strong wind blew dust around the circle. © James Estrin/The New York Times

A must-see video of award-winning photographer James Estrin talking about his Spiritual Experiences and Photography, is introduced by Oprah herself!  Tune in Sundays at 11 a.m ET/PT for Oprah's Super Soul Shorts on OWN Network.

"James Estrins' sensitivity and technical skill combine to create impactful moments in the world he observes..." When thousands of people gathered to commemorate the first anniversary of 9/11, Estrin was assigned one of the least accessible vantage points, yet his extraordinary photograph, “Silence and Dust, 9/11 Memorial, 2002”, was the most powerful (and chilling) image made of the event."

"Spirituality is often an underlying force in his photographs"

JAMES ESTRIN, NY Times Senior Staff Photographer and Co-Editor of NY Times "LENS", started at The Times back in 1987. He was part of the team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for the series “How Race is Lived in America.” In 2004, he was the first journalist to photograph an assisted suicide in Oregon, an event which he documented through articles, photographs and an audio slide show. Internationally, he has covered the Israeli-Palestinian conflict several times and chronicled the journey of Mexican immigrants who shuttle between their lives in the United States and Mexico. Estrin was the moving force behind Lens, The Times's photography blog, and has been a co-editor since it went online in May 2009.
