The Twins  - World Trade Center - 1984

About: The Twins  - World Trade Center - 1984

It was a quiet, overcast New York City Sunday morning with the sun trying to break through the clouds. A soft light was spreading over the city. I figured this would be a great time to head down to the Wall Street area and see what I could photograph. I ended up getting off the subway at the World Trade Center stop. When I emerged from the subway  there they were, the city’s magnificent TWINS. They were shimmering in the soft morning light. I was stunned by their majesty. They stood like two gentle giants overseeing all below. They seemed to look down on me and say  – “you may photograph us.”

May we remember all those who innocently lost their lives and those whose courage saved so many others on September 11, 2001.

This series was photographed in 1984 and shot on film. This is a limited edition.
