Born New York City
This photograph of the New York City television reporter Lou Young was taken after the attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings. Young stands at an intersection adjacent to the WTC site where the media congregated for their stand-up reports from the scene. Young, who worked for the CBS affiliate in the city, is gathering himself as he prepares to go back on the air. His pose evokes a sense of resolution as well as the fatigue and incomprehension that encapsulated the national mood in the direct aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
Nacido en la Ciudad de Nueva York
Esta fotografía del reportero de televisión de la Ciudad de Nueva York Lou Young fue tomada tras los ataques a los edificios del World Trade Center (WTC). Young se encuentra en una intercesión adyacente a la ubicación del WTC, donde los medios se habían congregado para retransmitir los eventos. Aquí vemos a un Young, que trabajaba para la filial de la CBS en la ciudad, recomponiéndose antes de salir de vuelta al aire. Su pose evoca una sensación de resolución combinada con fatiga e incomprensión que sintetiza el estado de ánimo de la nación en el periodo inmediatamente posterior a los ataques del 11 de septiembre.
