On the morning of September 11, 2001, three freelance photojournalists (one CSUN student, one former CSUN student and one Santa Monica Community College student) were in different places doing different things but the first thought each had was the same: I have to photograph this. By the following afternoon, they were driving the 2,800 miles to NYC. They spent three days photographing the aftermath of the destruction of the World trade Center.

“My two friends and I drove 50 hours from Northridge to New York,” he said. “When we made it to NYC, we decided to get closer to the scene. Once we made it, the three of us parted ways into the chaos.”
A decade and a half later, the memory is still vivid for Chiu.
“Because of the tight security, I had to have my [camera] equipment hidden away and disguise myself as a volunteer,” he said. “I was able to shoot the scene from a very close distance, on top of a building.”
In the midst of the smoke, rubble and broken windows of surrounding buildings, Chiu captured the aftermath, both physical and emotional, of the World Trade Center attacks.
It was a defining moment for Chiu, who has since shot thousands of photos professionally, including nearly 15 years as a staff photographer for the Los Angeles Business Journal
