Staff photographer Amy Dreher snaps a lot of pictures at the World Trade Center site, documenting the construction progress of the 9/11 Memorial. Amy also trains her lens on the smaller pieces that may be overlooked with a project of this magnitude. Through “The Lens: Viewing the 9/11 Memorial,” readers of The MEMO blog can share some of the unique vantage points captured by Amy.

Surface of a reflecting pool:  On a recent afternoon in August, workers lined the 9/11 Memorial's north pool with concrete pavers. The memorial will feature 30-foot waterfalls that plunge into reflecting pools. The pavers line the surface where water collects to create the massive reflecting pools.
