2011 Favorites – Assignment & Personal Photos

Beginning the National September 11 Memorial
Four years ago Brett Flashnick was asked to photograph the first of many structural beams for the National September 11 Memorial and Museum as they rolled out of Owen Steel Company Inc., in Columbia, S.C. on September 10, 2007.
