The Time Magazine has published a photo essay of photographer Melissa Cacciola’s Tintype portraits of the Mohawk Ironworkers. “In the tradition of their fathers and grandfathers, a new generation of Mohawk iron workers now descend upon the World Trade Center site, helping shape the most distinct feature of Lower Manhattan—the same iconic structure their fathers and grandfathers helped erect 40 years ago and later dismantled after it was destroyed in 2001.” (Tintype images are recorded by a large-format camera on sheets of tin coated with photosensitive chemicals.)
