In Memoriam: the night before that horrible day, I couldn’t sleep…and that NEVER happens. But, for whatever reason, I couldn’t and got up and made my way to my studio in DUMBO, Brooklyn. I was on the phone with a client from London when the first plane hit the towers. I went out into the hallway to see the smoking towers framed in its window. I immediately grabbed the nearest camera, a Hasselblad with a 150mm lens and only one roll of b&w film, and headed for the Brooklyn Bridge. My first shot was this lead image that has since been a part of two photo books, “The 911 Project” and “Here is New York”; a documentary film, “Voices of 911”; and is now in the permanent collection of the 911 Memorial Museum. The other images have never been made public until asked by MSNBC producer three months ago for her project, “Memory Box: Echos of 911”. Every single detail about that morning is seared in my brain. I remember ever exposure I made and where I was on that bridge when I made it. And, I’m grateful to be able to do my very small part to help keep the memory alive. #911 #inmemoriam #wtc #voicesof911 #hereisnewyork (at World Trade Center 9/11 Memorial Site, New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTr9V6Hp179/?utm_medium=tumblr
