9/11/11

i wasn't sure i would be able to photograph the lights this year
between the incessant warnings of a terrorist attack
and the draw to witness the events at ground zero
i wasn't motivated to go into town this weekend

but tonight,
despite the fog
i needed to try to see them
especially since this is possibly the last year.

this was the view from under the manhattan bridge
there was a constant flow of people
most coming to take pictures
i was glad i made the effort
