Photojournalist David Friend Presents "Watching the World Change: The Stories Behind the Images of 9/11"

November 1, 6:30 p.m.
CMA Auditorium (CMA 2.320)

Open to the public. Admission is free.

Come join former Life director of photography David Friend as he presents from his recent book with the riveting introductory claim, "The terrorists' motive was so warped, their method so pyrotechnic, the result so profoundly painful that the horror literally had to be seen, and seen again, to be believed. So inconceivable was the event that viewers doubted not their television screens, but their eyes. The scene called to mind a passage from Edgar Allan Poe. 'My very senses,' says one of his horrified characters, 'reject their own evidence.' People with cameras understood immediately…only rendering this act visually would confirm its reality, only images, not words, would suffice."
