911 powerful memory

Who would not be moved deeply by this field of over three thousand pairs of shoes dipicting the over three thousand people who will never need shoes again - those lost forever in the 911 Tragedy? Who could possibly fill their shoes ever again?

    This is by far the best piece of found object assemblage to politely and diplomatically capture the deep rooted shock that is in the gut of every citizen in North America. Your photo document is well done, nice angle of view for your audience. Keep up the fantastic image capture, you are an artist and it shows! :-)

    This one has power. It's much more meaningful than what is planned for the site - a vulgar monument, not to the innocents who perished, but to money and power. I'd rather have your picture framed, hanging on a memorial wall, in a spotlight.
