Editorial Reviews

In the days following the terrorist attacks, Life magazine photographer Joe McNally worked -- in a studio just blocks from Ground Zero -- on a special photo project to commemorate the heroes of September 11th. Using a giant Polaroid camera (one that was 8 feet tall and 12 feet long), he created huge portraits of those brave men and women who had survived the horrors the world witnessed that tragic day: they include firefighters, police officers, rescue workers, WTC office workers, area schoolchildren, and the mayor of New York City.
