Title

1891.pjpeg

Description

I had planned my trip all year. My friends tried to talk me out of going of fear that I might be putting my self in danger. I felt and knew that I had to go. This photo was taken at Union Square on 9/23/2001. The model of the two towers , constructed of childrens bicycle license plates with the paint removed, reminded us all of the people lost. You can just make out the names. The City air, still thick with the smell of the attack, left a strange taste as you breathed. The park was filled with people trying to deal with the shock from the last 12 days. I remember that I kept looking up expecting to see the towers. My friend Dave was the co-pilot on American Airlines Flight 77. I miss his smiling face. The whole day/month/year was strange, like I had lost my anchor and was adrift at sea.
