| See the project on: | On October 13, at 11 AM doors will open to the public at 26 Wooster Street, in Soho; there a collection of photos and text from any one who has contributed to The September 11 Photo Project will be on display. The concept is to show this tragedy on a human level and to give a forum for people throughout the community to submit work of their own to add to the project. People from all walks of life have been taking pictures in response to the tragedy, many for the first time. The project encourages people to submit photos with text that are personally meaningful so that a community voice emerges. It will continue to grow as it is shown, much in the spirit of the spontaneous shrines that sprang up all over New York in the days after the tragedy. The goal of the project (which is not simply a photography or art exhibition) is to show the tragedy on a human level, starting in New York City and then traveling to other locations throughout the country. The exhibition will grow as people who have been touched by these events continue to add their personal photos and words. A catalog of the project will be created and sold with the proceeds going to the victims and their families of the tragedy. Eventually the project will be donated to a museum for conservation and further use. The September 11 Photo Project is a non-profit project in partnership with the New York City Firefighters Burn Center Foundation. The project has been founded by Michael Feldschuh, a Wall Street professional who witnessed the attack, and is run with James Austin Murray, who is a Tribeca artist and also a New York City firefighter.
