MZInc Marketing and Advertising is located near the site of last autumn’s September 11th terrorist attack. Only a few blocks away, the emotional impact was beyond expression. With two neighbors vanishing from our lives, American flags were a bridge connecting the victims’ families, New York City, and all of America. They communicated a story and expressed our feelings. Art photographer Steven Schlesinger, was compelled by his profound personal reaction, to create this breath taking library of photographs, which MZInc Publishing is transforming into a compelling book of patriotism and love- "And the flag was still there"
Soon after the Twin Towers were attacked and destroyed by the enemies of America on September 11, 2001, the American flag started to sprout all over New York like flowers budding from the ashes of a great forest fire. They lit up the dark, gloomy streets and smiled upon the people, letting them know that everything was going to be all right. Her stars seemed to shine brighter now, and the red, the white and the blue glowed like the colors of the rainbow, promising a brighter tomorrow.
As the people of New York started to awaken from their terrible nightmare, they began to walk with pride in their steps, hope in their hearts, and confidence in their eyes. The flag was a silent ally, shouting encouragement to the hearts of millions who needed to hear her. Says Schlesinger, "I really began to fall in love again with this flag of ours, so I began to photograph her anywhere I could find her. The pictures in this book are a reflection what I witnessed."
