The idea was to present images of the event by as many different people and from as many different perspectives as possible. In the days following September 11, the organizers were inundated with images from photographers of every description, not only top photojournalists and other professionals, but rescue workers, firemen, cops, school children, and amateurs of every kind. The book Here is New York is the most comprehensive and authentic document of what occurred. Included on Vince Aletti's list of Best Photo Books of 2002. Conceived and organized by Alice Rose George, Gilles Peress, Michael Shulan and Charles Traub. 864 pages; 720 color and 160 duo-toned b&w plates; 8.75 x 12 x 3 inches.
