Never Forget
Like everyone I know, I can remember
exactly where I was when I heard that airplanes had crashed into
the twin towers, the Pentagon, and in the field in Pennsylvania.
I also can remember the sick feeling, the anger, the astonishment,
and the resolution to always remember that our country had been
attacked in such a cowardly fashion.
Everywhere in the nation there
were American Flags flying proudly. The entire country came together
as one. We all promised we would never forget. I came up with
the perfect project for myself- I would photograph every September
11 at 6:46 am mountain time- the exact time the first plane hit
the World Trade Center.
Since that horrible day in 2001,
memories have faded for some. There are fewer flags flying these
days. Patriots are harder to find. But I have never missed my
self-appointed schduled photograph. It is not always easy to get
the time away from work. It is challenging when I am out of town.
This project is too important to me for me to miss my schedule.
Making the photos for this self-assignment will take the rest
of my life, and long as I am able, I will never miss a 9 - 11
photo.
Enjoy! and please, never forget.
