To me, this image captures the mood after the first attack. Disbelief, denial, a feeling of not knowing what to do. I just kept shooting. Another photographer yelled to me, "Are you getting this? Docoment everything!" I was not even aware in those moments that a mass murder had taken place.
I shot this photo on Greenwich St. The woman crossing the street seems unaffected by the apparent chaos surrounding her. The shaft of light coming through the buildings seems to be shining only on her. I hope she is okay.
This photo was taken two blocks below WTC 2.

Hiny photo description
8:52 a.m. At the corner of Greenwich and Cedar. A woman crosses the street seemingly unaffected by the chaos surrounding her. There was a strange feeling in the air after the first crash, I don't know how to put it into words. Some people just went about
