I took this picture of the entrance to the Ground Zero viewing platform. Only later did I notice the sign.

This is around the end of November, and as I was walking to the subway station after visiting the Mid-Manhatten library, I saw this huge flag draped over the side of a building. I knew that display would be emphemeral. I happened to have my digital…

This is the Sphere after it was moved to Battery Park a few months after the attacks.

Most of us were watching the events unfold on the television in the break room. At some point that morning I went back to my desk and checked CNN. Either the site was overwhelmed or they were evacuating too. I am not sure. I grabbed this screen shot…

This picture was taken from the top of World Trade Center in 1999. I was on vacation in New York.

This photo was taken from the 59th Street Bridge at about 3:30pm on 9/11 as I was evacuating Manhattan. The American flag was flying from a building in Long Island City.

I was a "first responder" at the WTC on 9-11. I just happened to be there. Since then, I've been working as a volunteer in the recovery efforts. This picture shows how ground zero looked at the end of January 2002. The picture was taken by a fellow…
