20 years... Never Forget
9

Hello friends. Due to the heightened security risk surrounding the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I decide to stay home tonight instead of making my annual pilgrimage to photograph the Tribute In Light. Instead I looked back through my old photos to find one that spoke to me on this sad landmark anniversary. I keep coming back to this photo from 2017 because it speaks to the solemn loss and loneliness of all the victims and survivors that fateful day 20 years ago. The pillars in the foreground stand reverent and steadfast, promising to "never forget". The twin shimmering beams shine skyward to quietly reassure "we are still here". I have so many more emotions and so much more to say, but I'll leave it at that.

Regards, 
Warren

It's an absolutely beautiful photograph. Where were you when it was shot?
