My project is to document the small part of the world that I inhabit. I know many of the people I photograph, though I see few of them outside of the environs of this place. In any event, I find the normality of the scene somehow bracing and perdurable--something to hold on to. All of these are recent. Two I shot early in the evening of Sept. 11. I was carrying a single, walk-around body and lens, and ran out of film during Bush's speech. I'd been concentrating on the TV and the people I was with, but when I went to rewind and reload, I glanced to my left to see a sea of faces peering intently at the screen. The speech ended as I finished loading, and the crowd dispersed before I could frame the shot. That particular image is preserved only memory.
