With over 40 years of photojournalism beneath his belt, Bolivar Arellano had witnessed inhumanity, war and injustices first hand. However, Arellano’s most tragically impactful moments, began on the most bright and sunny of all days - September 11, 2001. Since then he has done nothing short of dedicating his time, money, resources and spirit to preserving the history and the memory of that fateful day by annually hosting the WTC Ground Zero Photos exhibit that with 23 photographers has raised over $50,000 for three charities. The images in this book, September 11, Through the Eyes of Bolivar Arellano, are an integral part of the WTC Ground Zero Photos collection that has been exalted by the U.S. Library of Congress as “outstanding, if not the best in the city,”
Proceeds from this book will go to the Fr. Mychal Judge Fund.

"A very powerful book" I saw a collection of Mr. Arellano's 9/11 photos in his gallery on East 9th street in 2002, time has not diminished their impact. He was there to capture the "lull" right after the plane crashes as emergency workers rushed in to help the wounded. The photos of firemen carrying rescue equipment up Liberty street will stay with you for a long time. Be advised there are several VERY graphic images in the book that capture the horror of that day in ways you might not be ready for - don't order it lightly.
