As I think back to that day, 9/11, on the road with other Ohio State University people I remember the disbelief of what was happening. Called Dad in California to get some clarification and Dad just kept saying “they are gone”. Wasn’t till I had a chance to see the news and the awful images on TV.
Here is a small visual love letter to New York City and world that was and now is…

20 years!
Doesn’t seem so, yet, it’s been 20 years since the horror of 9/11/2001.
I was on a Roads Scholar Tour with The Ohio State University and we were visiting various OSU supported industries in northern Ohio. We were gathered in the lobby of the company and told the tour was suspended and we were going back to Columbus. Not much was known and getting a phone call out was almost impossible.
I finally reached my Father in San Diego and all he could say was ‘they were gone, the towers were gone’. I didn’t understand. I’ve photographed in and out of NYC since the early 70’s. Spent time at the Trade Center, photographed from the roof when that was still allowed. It just didn’t make sense.
I wasn’t till we finally got home and saw the replays from the morning shows that it all came home.
Take a moment to reflect, understand and keep the memory of those lost alive.
Below are my memories of remembrance.
Peace and Love, it truly is a good thing!

I’ve started scanning my images from the 80’s taken in the NJ/NY area of lower Manhattan and Statue of Liberty.
While working on photography of the refurbishing of the Statue of Liberty I also took images of lower Manhattan and the Twin Towers.
I’ve images from boats, airplane and on location. I also have pictures from the roof of the South Tower.
So over the next couple of days I’ll be posting images as I get the transparencies cleaned, scanned and cleaned again.
First I’m editing down to the final cut of photos, then take them out of their mounts, soak them for awhile, then a quick bath in Kodak Photoflo, dry then inspect, a little more cleaning, scan, then software cleaning.
Long road, but at the end they are done for good.
Most are Kodachrome, scanned on a Nikon CoolScan 9000 using VueScan, 30 meg jpeg.
