On September 9, 2001, I watched events unfold very early in the morning via a dial-up internet connection. Carlton was playing tennis with the Park Superintendent prior to going to work.
Moving on to 2008. The Pentagon Memorial opened on September 11, 2008. I took these pictures on October 11, 2008. An evening selected because of the full moon.
Most of the pictures were taken in the area of David Charlebois’s bench. He was First Officer on the American Airlines plane that crashed into the Pentagon. David’s father was a friend and his mother was too frail to make a personal visit to the memorial – so I made these pictures for them. The kids were borrowed and they are sitting on David’s bench. Lives end. Life continues.
Gratitude
Grateful for today.
