I went down to Ground Zero on September 11th, 2011 to observe the visitors and events going on during the 10-year anniversary. Every year that I can, I go down to the World Trade Center site on the anniversary to capture these moments and reflect on the events. Despite the threats and worries surrounding this particular anniversary, the area was crowded and the usual ceremonies and rituals were all still going on. Most notable was the bagpipe ceremony in front of O'Haras Irish Pub at the foot of Ground Zero.
Just a few days before I had gotten a new camera lens as a birthday gift from my photo friend
Joe. It was the 55-250 telephoto lens, so it lead me to take more intimate pictures of the people and places down there.

The photos really tell the story. I especially like the one with the news team. And hey, thanks for the shout out!
