Union Square 911

Union Square Park in New York City was the unofficial remeberance

place of all those who died on 9-11. This photo was taken the day

after.

Kevin,

Other than it's connection to the 9/11 tragedy

I don't think there is a whole lot going for this shot. Even with the 9/11 info given it doesn't have much emotional impact for me.

Some of your other images are much much stronger than this one.

you have to live three miles away from Ground Zero like me to understand.

I see your point about emotional attatchment and proximity to the event..

Though from a photo-critique standpoint I should get some of that feeling and pathos from the shot. It could be any candle vigil placing anywhere. The bright colors actually lend it a rather festive mood - without the title I wouldn't have a context.

I'd rather have used some b/w material than Velvia. Also I agree with the comments above. Nice idea but you could reshoot.

oh, well! At least I tried.
