05/13/2002 Entry: "On Photography @ WTC"

Any time there is a man-made disaster or a war, you have to ask yourself: How do I approach this? How do I edit? Do I edit nature, the sun and beautiful mist? Can such beauty exist alongside the destruction? Do I say nature and natural beauty are careless, nature doesn't know what is going on? I have taken pictures of color and light, often they are beautiful to behold and they reflect the passage of time and work to erase the horror. So, I take a romantic point of view, that nature is a force to reckon with just as man is.
