“How 9/11 Changed My Life” – Tearsheet

This is a tearsheet of a photoshoot I did for Reader’s Digest Europe for their 9/11 10th anniversary feature on survivors of 9/11 entitled “How 9/11 Changed My Life”. This portrait of Jose Salgado ran in the September issue. Salgado worked on the 47th floor of the North Tower and survived due to his choice of stairwell unlike many of his less lucky coworkers who did not escape alive. Salgado has been able to stay at his job and kept his marriage intact and in that sense has fared much better than the other survivors featured in the article. As Salgado told me his personal story he showed me his copy of the Time Life book on 9/11 which includes professional and cell phone photos of the event and is a powerful collection.
