Description

A firefighter searching for the body of his life-long friend; a teenage girl mourning her stepfather; a Franciscan friar ministering to the dead; the future FDNY Chief of Department worrying about a potential building collapse. These are just a few of the thousands of people captured by photographer Andrea Booher, who had unprecedented access to the rescue and recovery operations at Ground Zero. Booher uses the battered green notebook she carried at the Trade Center to track down the people in nearly a dozen of her favorite pictures, gets them to tell, for the first time, the riveting personal stories behind the photographs.
