This photograph was taken from 25th Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan on September 11, 2001 at about 3:00 p.m. (that’s the famous Flatiron Building in the center).
You ask, “Josh, where are your other photos of the World Trade Center?” Sadly, I have to say that I have very few. As a native New Yorker, the World Trade Center was always on my list of things to photograph, but I always put it off because “it will always be there”. However, I do have one other photograph of it from its better days.
You also ask, “Josh, is this the only photo you have of that day?” Yes, it is. I had brought my CoolPix 990 to work that day to photograph something else. On my walk home, I turned to take this photo. I couldn’t take any others, my heart just wasn’t in it.
If you find anything on here useful or interesting, or you just feel sorry for me, you can buy me a beer via PayPal.
thats sooooo sad
That is some photograph.
I remember hearing the news that morning after the first plane, before it was obviously more than it seemed. I remember all the rest of that day. Every time I see a picture of that day, it comes back. This is not a critique of your photography skills, but there are no good shots from that day.
