Rising From Rubble
These images capture every step of the recovery work in “the pit” that remained. Mr. Margules was one of the only civilians with access to ‘the pit’ throughout the months-long recovery operation at the World Trade Center site. This book is a tribute to the work of many First Responders, Rescue and Recovery workers. Many of whom he developed close ties to over his time as a volunteer photographer, and still maintains.
