A memorial to the victims of 9/11.

A pivotal moment in our history and a defining event in our collective conscious, the attack on "ground zero" - the twin towers of the world trade center in new york city, affected all of us deeply, disturbed some of us profoundly, and changed our way of life forever.

I could not take my eyes off the news - the papers, the TV broadcasts, and the nascent Internet news media. As I remember, that was when Google started its news section, including something new on its front page for the first time! During that period, I collected the outstanding work of the photojournalists featured on the front pages of every major newspaper in the United States.

I have created this visual arts mashup of the work of those professionals as a tribute to their photojounalism, as a memorial to that tragedy's innocent victims, and as a continuing reminder that we must all work together if we are ever to find peace.

We must never forget.
