The Lens: Viewing the 9/11 Memorial

Staff photographer Amy Dreher snaps a lot of pictures at the World Trade Center site, documenting the construction progress of the 9/11 Memorial. Amy also trains her lens on the smaller pieces that may be overlooked with a project of this magnitude. Through “The Lens: Viewing the 9/11 Memorial,” readers of The MEMO blog can share some of the unique vantage points captured by Amy.

A moveable feast: The work on the 9/11 Memorial and the World Trade Center site is often done at a frenetic pace. Instead of wasting precious time seeking out a nearby sandwich shop, restaurant or street vendor, many of the hundreds of construction workers at WTC wait for their lunch to come to them. Here you see a portable food cart wheeled around the construction site providing snacks, drinks and food for the dedicated "hard hats" clocking in each day at the WTC construction site.
