Bubriski's book, Pilgrimage: Looking At Ground Zero
, images shot following 9/11 in the streets surrounding Ground Zero in NYC, was recently reviewed in The Photo Book by Douglas Stockdale here. "In these photos, the World Trade Center is nowhere in evidence, except in the stunned expressions on the faces of the people now confronting the sight of its obliteration."
