The two silhouettes you see holding hands are looking directly at the Empire State Building. Classical music is playing in the background and the weather balloons are surrounding them rhythmically to compliment the musical notes. This is an old shot and it has always reminded me of the closing scene in Fight Club (nothing blew up after I took it though).
I shot this scene during an installation last year sponsored by MoMA at 7 WTC. Plenty of other shots from this day are in my archive, as MoMA was super cool about letting people take photos.
Tribute of Light for 9/11
A team of 30 electricians worked through the night yesterday to prepare for the 10th anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks which takes place on Sunday. The ‘Tribute in Light’ is made up of 88 bulbs which project two blue beacons of light up into the heavens that is visible from a 60 mile radius. The tribute will be powered on for the entire day and night on Sunday to remember the 2,753 people who died on September 11, 2001. The National September 11 Memorial and Museum is also scheduled to open on Sunday at the WTC site.
