It was an ordinary Monday. On September 10, 2001, Jack McCune goes to work, tries to be a good husband and father, catches up with friends, and navigates the ordinary demands of a busy life. There are deadlines and decisions, a sick child, a few laughs, a few frustrations, and all the small moments that fill a day and make it meaningful.
It's a day like countless others. Familiar routines, expected challenges, and the people who make it all matter.
With remarkable empathy and restraint, Jacob Brower captures the texture of an ordinary day and the moments we rarely think to remember.
