9/11 Richard Corman Collection

Richard Corman is a lifelong New Yorker who has lived in Lower Manhattan for most of his adult life. In recent years he has been focused on community, environmental, and political initiatives. From his roof at 335 Greenwich Street, less than a dozen blocks north of Ground Zero, Corman documented the horrific destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, and conditions in the surrounding area in the days following 9/11.
