ew York shutter-bug Baldwin Lee's work is nothing short of exquisite. Make sure to visit his site for collections on "Black Americans in the South", Katrina, and, of course, the World Trade Center - both pre- and post- September 11.

His pictures of the towers, often glimpsed, half-seen (taken for granted, perhaps...), or forcefully imposing themselves on their unavoidably diminutive surroundings, are truly thought-provoking.
