I remember where I was on that terrifying day in 2001. I worked in a school for autistic children and we turned on the tv and watched in horror. We waited for the parents to pick up their kids and were surprised at how quickly the school emptied even when the danger was a thousand miles away. At home Poopsy put in a tape to record it not realizing that it would be recorded from every angle and played over and over until it was burned into our heads. It’s still fresh over two decades later.
A few years ago my BFF and I took a trip to NYC. The 911 memorial was on our agenda (along with a Billy Joel concert and photography class in Central Park). We gave it a lot of time and our respect and love. My photos do not do it justice, but if you are ever in New York it is worth a visit. Beware, it will break your heart and you will leave there forever changed.
