Recent Release, "Out of Focus," from Page Publishing Author Alan Horowitz, Offers an Unflinching Account of Witnessing Two of America's Most Catastrophic Events

East Norwich, NY, October 28, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Alan Horowitz has completed a new book, "Out of Focus: Confessions of a New York TV Camera Crew," a raw and intimate chronicle of frontline photojournalism during unimaginable tragedy. With his camera in hand and a front-row seat to history's darkest moments, Horowitz captures the chaos, confusion, and human suffering that unfolded during the crash of TWA Flight 800 and the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. Written in a stream of consciousness style, this account pulls no punches as it documents what it meant to witness devastation on such an incomprehensible scale.

An Emmy Award-winning photojournalist based in New York, Horowitz has spent over four decades traveling the globe covering major news and sports events, interviewing everyone from celebrated actors to political figures. Yet despite his extensive career and professional resilience, the two catastrophic events he documented would leave permanent emotional scars. Years of silent suffering followed, until therapy compelled him to confront the psychological toll these experiences had exacted. His decision to finally put pen to paper represents an act of profound courage and necessary healing.

"I have to write this. For my sake, not yours. I need to deal with this," explains Horowitz.

"Out of Focus" transcends a traditional memoir to explore universal themes of trauma, witness consciousness, and the struggle to reclaim one's sense of self after bearing witness to collective suffering. Readers will discover not merely a personal account, but a brutal testament to human fragility and the long shadow that historical tragedy casts. Through Horowitz's eyes we confront the unbearable truths that often go unspoken, finding in his vulnerability a mirror to our own experiences of loss and resilience.

Published by Page Publishing, Alan Horowitz's candid work offers readers an unflinching window into human experience during catastrophe. This testament challenges us to acknowledge the cost of bearing witness.

Readers who wish to experience this visceral work can purchase "Out of Focus" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
