Melanie Einzig on the 9/11 Photo That Haunts Her

"I never screamed on 9/11," says photographer Melanie Einzig the Phoblographer in an interview. "I remember thinking that scream was probably stuck in my body. The following summer was heartbreaking but also strange that tourists and locals came to Ground Zero to see something when there was actually not much available to view.

" She continues to tell us that the city had been missing around 3,000 people and that her throat would close up every time she went to lower Manhattan. For our 2024 coverage of 9/11, Melanie showed us this image -- shot a year after the towers fell. .
