After September 11th 2001, I strolled the NYC streets, I had to see. Many saw horror, and that was obvious, but I also saw something else………………

I saw the human spirit, and American patriotism in plain sight. I saw the American flag, and many men and women that said I pledge to PROTECT AND SERVE.

In respect to those who serve our country in any and all capacities THANK YOU!

I hope you enjoy my series. It was very thereputic for me and It means a lot to me. I hate when people try to forget what was lost. I say remember the beauty of it and remember the patriotic spirit the people showed after. I had the priviledge of eating, dancing in "top of the Tower" resturant. I saw the top, I walked the halls. I miss the buildings in the skyline as I drive in new jersey or coast in the water by boat.

PHOTO Details:
Shot with Pentex 35mm 28-300 Tamrn lens. Scanned from B/W photo. Taken October 2001 while picking up some NYC friends. You can see the mist and debri in the air of the background.

Great shot! I really like the tones of the B&W and how well they work with the subject. personay i think that this just would not be remotely as powerful as it is if it were in color. I also like how spontanious and un planned this shot is it gives this image this very journalistic quality. Nice work man!
