Today I had the pleasure of chatting with 40 plus year, award winning photojournalist TODD MAISEL. Todd has captured some of the most important events in New York City and many other locations since his college days at NYU. He has worked for and contributed to many newspapers including Courier Life, The Torch, Town and Village and The NY Daily News for over 18 years. Just to name a few. He also served as a breaking news editor for AM NEW YORK. He also holds and has held many titles for the NYPPA. New York Press Photographer Association such as Vice President, Govnt relations chairman, and Editor. He is also the founder of the New York Media Consortium. Some of his awards NYPPA Good Guy Award. NYPPA Humanitarian Award, Picture of the year, and UFA Award for his work on 9/11. He has photographed many incidents including the Golden Venture in the Rockaways, Mafia crime scenes and thousands of fires in New York City. But no incident was as big as the September 11th attacks on the WTC. Todd was down at ground zero documenting and assisting throughout the entire day and days to follow. He was on the ground for both collapses where he narrowly escaped the falling towers. Todd also has travel to IRAQ and documented the war in 2003. Today Todd has authored the book TO HELL AND BACK, which his photos and words re live the events on 9/11, through his photos and words. IT IS TO BE NOTED THAT ALL OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THE BOOK GO TO THE TUNNEL TO TOWERS FOUNDATION. Thank you Todd for always going above and beyond for the sake of your art and to document these events so the world Never Forgets.
