This
is just a collection of photographs that I have taken,
documenting the changes in the neighborhood where I live and have lived
for a few years prior to the atrocity. I'm not a professional photographer
just
an avid hobbyist who takes lots of photos and then makes them better
(with Photoshop).
From
visible smoke hanging in the air and shorn buildings (on the periphery of the
World
Trade Center) to poignant, heartfelt (and often heartbreaking) memorials from
around
the world to the virtually empty basin it is today, that is what I've documented.
They
probably won't mean much to most people, but it's my story. And it starts here.
For
some photos from 9.11.2002 of the neighborhood just outside of the WTC, click
here.
If it's not working, try this alternate.
Just about
five months after the attacks, the E train in the NYC Subway System
started going back down to the World Trade Center stop, and it was more than
a little
startling to see this on a train that had just pulled into a midtown station.
