* What it was - What it is

Ground Zero, World Trade Center, NYC

Before I got seriously into photography, I'd always at least had a camera for snapshots. My last, prior to the 10D was the Olympus 3030. Soon after 9/11 I had a very strong need to be there. We drove in one night and I tried to capture some essence of what I was feeling. When I got home I created this website, dedicated to those who perished. http://ontheisland.net/NYCweb

Canon EOS 10D ,Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
1/90s f/3.5 at 28.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Of course you're right, Rod, but I think we Americans have an unexplainable visceral reaction to photos on this topic. I have pictures I took from the top of the World Trade Center in the mid-90's, and I still get a shiver when I think of how the spot where I stood has been pulverized into nothingness. I think Lonnit's photo has captured some of the feelings that people experience when they view the site today. Mary Anne
