9/11 Memorial Site: May 21st, 2012
World Trade Center Site: May 2nd, 2011 - Approx. 1:50 - 2:30am
The below photographs are from the World Trade Center Site in Manattan which I took between roughly 1:50am and 2:30am, hours after President Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden. The ethics of this will be debated for centuries, conspiracy theorists are already eating it up as one more reason the government's out to get us, and where there's a crowd for whatever reason the people turn into a crowd and act as crowds do (not very intelligently). These photos are about none of that. I did not go to WTC to celebrate; I went to watch history - history to whatever end. Of the 227 photos that I took, the four below best captured for me the feeling of the night.
9/11 9th Anniversary Tribute In Lights
Photos taken from rooftop in Brooklyn with Canon 5D Mark II w/17-40mm f4L
From The Roof: September 11th, 2007
All the photos in this series are shots taken from the roof of our apartment building in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
The first shot below is of the BQE (Brooklyn-Queens Expressway) rising up over the Gowanas Canal: the towers in the background are in Jersey City, NJ. The second shot is of Brooklyn, New Jersey, and Manhattan - the lights are the memorial lights at the World Trade Center, where the World Trade Center twin towers once stood. Both shot with a Canon 28-105mm f3.5-4.5 lens.
