  • Sitting drunk on a mid-town sidewalk (pavement), a construction worker wipes tears from his eyes. The man has driven from his mid-west home to offer help at the hazardous Ground Zero where for the past 4 days and nights he has been uncovering debris and human remains after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Exhausted and emotional, he was sent away for his own and the safety of others and alcohol was his first purchase. New Yorkers praised their heroes for assisting their city (and America) in their hour of need but here, passers-by stepped over him complaining of his drunken state. The now lonely man is distressed, tormented and psychologically fragile but gets no help. With his few possessions, his hard hat and flag, mask and cans of Budweiser we see a man at his lowest ebb.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, eccentric New Yorkers gather at the city's Armory to offer help and support by handing our fluffy bunnies to passers-by. The streets between 66th and 67th Streets, in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, DNA samples were taken at the Armory so human remains might be identified. It was therefore a point of focus for those with missing relatives who attached thousands of posters to walls with pictures and messages to loved-ones in the hope of being reunited. Emotions were running high and many citizens offered spiritual aide such as food and drink. In outpourings of grief, anger and patriotic rhetoric, flags were flown as never before as  America sought to express their emotions and unity.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, we see anti-war graffiti written in a circular chalk graphic on the path in front of the Lincoln Memorial of Washington DC's National Mall. The words 'Break the Cycle (of) War' appear as early morning joggers blur in the background beyond whom, the Washington Memorial is seen below the rising sun and a rising mist. Soon afterwards the graffiti was hosed away by park rangers, eager to remove anti-militarist and unpatriotic sentiments at a time before the military was about to mobilise once again with many American lives lost. In outpourings of grief, anger and patriotic rhetoric, flags were flown as never before as America sought to express their emotions and unity.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, a sign spelling out a message of faith and patriotism is seen outside the Upper Seneca Baptist church in Cedar Grove, Maryland. The preacher has written God Bless America but has misspelled 'devastation' that the Devil is bringing. Messages and slogans appeared all over America following the trauma and the desire for retribution following the terrorist attacks that killed thousands, Christians wanted reprisals as emotions ran high in the media. Small community churches preached against Islam in the same breath as the Devil's evil. The rhetoric of the Crusades as said by President Bush was also a popular way of stirring the propaganda for invasion and war.

DNA samples were taken at the nearby Armory so human remains might be identified. Here, the coloured ink from desktop printers prints have streaked after rain soaked the posters leaving a sense of the tragic disappearance of thousands - a haunting detail of the missing and the dead. Emotions were therefore running high and we see the sad, rain-soaked messages, the faces of happy people and their physical descriptions and contacts numbers. In most cases, these people were never seen again.

  • At the foot of a tree located opposite the charred Pentagon building days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, children have made a makeshift memorial by placing a garland around the model of a military B52 bomber, a NASA space Shuttle,  portrait of a smiling president George W Bush and their own interpretation of the attacks on the Twin Towers - with airliners flying towards those symbols of capitalism.  Icons of American technology and patriotic success lie on the ground here beneath the tree near Arlington military Cemetery. In a show of unity, many of those gathered on the grass to view the damage done by terrorists worked for the government or defence organisations, their Hawkish rhetoric appearing to suggest heavy-handed retaliation on those held responsible.

  • Virgin boss, Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic directors Will Whitehorn and Stephen Attenborough, talk to the media during the unveiling of their SpaceShipTwo concept model's unveiling at the New York Wired NextFest at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.  Now under construction by Burt Rutan in Mojave, California and looking more like a Stanley Kubrick movie set from '2001 A Space Odyssey,' than the future for everyday holidays, SpaceShipTwo is a re-usable orbiting vehicle that will become an important tool for Man's leisure time in space when affordable commercial space tourism starts in around 2009.  <br />
Aboard the re-usable space vehicle will be 6 passengers, each of whom will have paid $200,000 for the 40 minute flight to 360,000 feet (109.73km, or 68.18 miles) and to experience just 6 minutes of weighlessness.<br />
Launched in September 2004 by Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic will invest up to $250 million to develop the world’s first commercial space tourism business with the building, testing and flying of five space shipShipTwos and two mother ships.  It is expected that within the first full year of commercial operations Virgin Galactic will enable 500 people to fulfil their dreams of becoming astronauts; in the last 4 decades the world has seen fewer than 500 astronauts. Flights start around 2009.<br />

  • Sprayed with aerosol and stencil on the pavement (sidewalk) in a Manhattan street near New York City’s Armory are the words "WTC RIP 9.11.2001"  As if in recognition of the attacks on the World Trade Center that occured four days previously, pedestrians pass-by leaving dark, haunted shadows on the pavement as if suffering the horrors of what many witnessed on September 11th. A young girl is about to walk over the stencil and we see her US stars and stripes bandana wrapped around her head looking like the tv super-hero Wonder Woman.

  • Three days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, President George W Bush tours Ground Zero, the scene of two airlliners crashing into the World Trade Center. We see him live on CNN television which is transmitting pictures to a rest-stop service station in New York State. The caption reads 'America's New War' and 'Pres. Bush visiting with volunteers and rescuers' which turned out to be his finest hour in those days and months following the atrocities. A Burger King restaurant also lends itself to a President of the fast food and fast war era of American politics.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, we see visitors watching a re-enactment of a Civil War skirmish at the Gettysburg National Military Park. As a group of Confederate troopers parade on the battlefield, we see printed on a woman tourist's back, the quoted words spoken by President George W Bush on 9/11/01. His rallying call to the nation, answering the demand for vengeance against the 'evil-doers' is included in his rhetoric, reproduced on clothing and on messages displayed around the US. The American Civil War's Battle of Gettysburg was fought in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and was the one battle with the largest number of casualties: Between 46,000 and 51,000 killed in the three-days in July 1863.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, the breaking news flashes from Fox TV's studios that there are expected to be no more survivors found at Ground Zero. The tragic message reads 'No Signs of Life' in large red letters, read by passers-by along the on the Avenue of the Americas on Manhattan. As the news travels across the building, the camera blurs other TV pictures of live broadcasts with a sense of urgency, speed and desperation in the fruitless search for life.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, a team of New York City Police Department (NYPD) and a US Marshal walks through a barrier after spending a traumatic shift searching for human remains in the 'Pile' of Ground Zero. Making their way through the general public, they have a look of exhaustion and stress. Haunted but still mindful of the enormous task ahead to investigate the crimes committed here, they go towards a welcome rest. The streets are tall above them and the sky a clear blue as the men carry their hard hats with dust masks still around their necks - protection from the then unknown hazardous elements and chemicals in the environment.

  • The Monday morning following the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11th we see members of the National Guard wearing dust masks standing beneath the high columns of the Federal Hall, located at 26 Wall Street in New York City. It was the first capitol of the United States of America and the site of George Washington's first inauguration in 1789. It is also the place where the United States Bill of Rights was passed. To celebrate the near-return to financial normality, New Yorkers' spirit was proved intact by the hanging of US flags from buildings. Days after the historical events, security was prominent at all nationally symbolic institutions and buildings. As a show of force, it was also a clear deterrent for would-be criminals when New Yorkers felt vulnerable to further attack.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, a Cowboy.com ad (a software company) is seen on top of a pole at the roadside on Highway 27 in Mt Airy, near Baltimore, Maryland. At a time when a show of unity and patriotic support was important to Americans, many sought to express their anger and patriotic duty to send clear messages to those held responsible. "Don't Mess with the USA" was a favourite message but this internet company’s cowboy advert complete with stetson and mirrored glasses was also a popular motif favouring aggressive replies.

  • At dawn, a week after the September 11th attacks in New York and in Washington DC, we see the haunted figures of war veterans looking up at the names of dead comrades of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Constitution Gardens, Washington DC where 58,195 names of casualties are recorded on its polished wall. In the foreground are some of those mens' identities whose average age was 19 in the sixties and seventies. A hazy sun rises over the point of the Washington Memorial at a time when the nation was mourning those killed in the New York and Washington attacks, when the military was about to mobilise once again with many American lives lost. The Vietnam war however, remains a low-point in the nation's history and the old men who survived return to trace their buddies which helps them deal with the traumatic loss of their friends and their own youth.

  • The Monday morning following the attacks on the World Trade Center on Septmber 11th we see a dust-filled haze on Wall Street to where city financiers returned to their office desks to find their city skyline missing the Twin Towers and Manhattan in a state of perpetual shock and still under a mist of smoke from the debris at Ground Zero. To celebrate the near-return to financial normality, New Yorkers' spirit was proved intact by the hanging of US flags from buildings. An American flag hangs and a banner for 48 Wall Street, known as the Bank of New York Building (built in 1928 on land used by the bank since 1797), on the corner of Wall Street and William Street in New York City's Financial District.

  • Circling the base of the Washington Memorial in Washington DC, American flags fly at half-mast in the week after the September 11th attacks on the USA. A young couple lie on the grass beneath this magnificant obelisk that reaches beyond the top of frame into a clear blue sky. A sense of patriotism is running high with the country in a state of national mourning as flags alll over the country are lowered to remember those killed at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon here in the nation's capital and in Pennsylvania. the US sought to express their anger and patriotic unity with gestures at public monuments and in the privacy of the home. The 555 foot (170m) high marble, granite and sandstone Memorial on the National Mall honours George Washington. Completed in 1884, it remains the world's tallest stone structure.

  • Attending to a floral memorial of Lillies in a 5th Avenue store front in mid-town Manhattan. In the days following the September 11th attacks, a store window dresser is seen through the glass with Fifth Avenue reflected behind. The words "In Memory and Gratitude" are written in block capitals on the window and a passer-by walks briskly past the large floral display and the large US flag that hangs vertically in mourning for those killed and those heroes helping to uncover their remains in the debris. America sought to express their anger and patriotic unity by installing these shrines in the frontages of businesses and in homes as New Yorkers try to pick up the pieces of their lives.
