Photographer Camilo José Vergara has photographed the World Trade Center site since 1970. Camilo José Vergara moved to New York City in 1970 from Rengo, Chile ― a town where the tallest building was a three-story post office, he said. “These landmark skyscrapers were suddenly exposed, but today, are being eclipsed rather than framed by the new World Trade Center,” he wrote. Critics’ reviews of the new One World Trade Center building have been mixed, but the Twin Towers weren’t always beloved architecture, either. Camilo José Vergara/Library of Congress Vergara repeatedly shot the Manhattan skyline, with the Twin Towers dominating the earlier images, from the Staten Island Ferry.
