The Faces of Ground Zero, Portraits of the Heroes of September 11, 2001 Collection, consist of 246 Giant Polaroids photographed by Joe McNally. These compelling, life-sized photos were shot during a three week period shortly after September 11, 2001, with additional images shot in 2002 on the garage-size, unique Giant Polaroid camera at Moby C Studio near Ground Zero in New York City. They represent a pictorial, emotional cross section of largely ordinary people who rose up to the challenges of that awful day, and did extraordinary things.

These pictures traveled to numerous cities, became a book, and proved to be a powerfully moving tribute to the collective heroism displayed on 9/11. This collection in its entirety has helped raise over two million dollars for the 9/11 relief effort. If you are interested in making a donation click here.
