Nat Geo Photographer Ira Block on Processing His Home City After 9/11

"They weren't panicking. " related photographer Ira Block to me while I sat with him in his NYC loft and examined images from 9/11 with him. "They were instead trying to figure out what was going on.

" The image that Ira is talking about is very typical of New York. Though we were all in lots of shock on 9/11, everyone was in a state of confusion throughout the day. Said photo, which is the lead image of this story, was shot by Ira while walking down 7th Ave. The photos Ira took were for himself.

To that end, he wasn't on an assignment that day; so the images he shot were just for him. .
