This portrait of a man walking through the rubble after the twin towers crumbling from the attacks. The use of fading the background emphasizes the man and uses simplicity to make the subject, who is the man walking, a very clear subject. The portrait conveys a feeling of sadness as the man looks down to the ground and seems to be crying.
