I wanted to share what I brought to the Aperture "What Matters Now" exhibition we participated in a few weeks ago. For this year's anniversary of 9/11, Marco Grob shot a series of videos and photographs for Time magazine focusing on 40 people, varying from General David Petraeus to the 9/11 first responders, and interviewed them about their experiences on the day of 9/11 and the decade following the disaster. This is my favorite piece I've seen to date focusing on the subject of 9/11. I never would have thought that an online exhibition of sorts would be able to be effective, but everything about the way this website and series is set up works perfectly. You are given the option to read the interview or watch a video of it, and every interview is accompanied with a portrait. I recommend watching as many videos as you can and reading about the project itself, it is worth the time. There is also the option to share your story, photographs, or videos relating to 9/11 which will become part of the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
