Rating: Summary: A beautiful tribute! Review: This is a beautiful collection of photographs taken of the World Trade Center. The photographs were taken from various vantage points looking at the towers from the north, south, east and west. Sonja Bullaty and Angelo Lomeo do an excellent job of capturing the towers in their true essence; as architectural and structural marvels quietly but proudly standing watch over lower Manhattan while also serving as a point of reference and orientation for NYC residents and tourists alike. The photographs are crisp and clear; some of them are old some new, but always visually striking. Paul Goldberger's text is informative, well written and heartfelt without sounding trite or pretentious. The book also includes a nice publisher's preface and a touching photographer's dedication. Overall, a stirring photographic tribute that would add nicely to any library!
Rating: Summary: Absolutely beautiful pictures... Review: What a wonderful tribute to the World Trade Center. It is a book of little words, just striking photographs of the towers from many vantage points and a brief introduction by Paul Goldberger. It is a collection of photos taken over many years by renowned photographers Sonja Bullaty and Angelo Lomeo that were beautifully put together into four sections: East, South, North, and West.It is definitely a "must have" book. Like many New Yorkers I didn't have one picture of the WTC, yet I had visited numerous times and now I have many pictures in one great book to treasure.
