Lou Young, 1952-
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.
