As you may know, I worked in 2 World Trade Center at the time of the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001. My employer arranged for a visit of the memorial site for everyone who was there in 2001 and still with the company. The visit took place on October 5, 2011.
A few days after Osama bin Laden was killed, President Obama announced that he would visit Ground Zero. He arrived mid-day on May 5, 2011 and presented a wreath in memory of those who died on September 11th.
These are pictures shot at or near the World Trade Center Site in New York City. I work in the area and it has become very special to me. I remember when I worked at 40 Rector St. in the late 70s. I would occasionally get a couple of hot dogs and a knish from a street vendor and eat my lunch on the observation deck of 2 World Trade Center. Then I’d take a nice walk on the roof. It only cost a couple of dollars to visit the observation deck then. It was around $20 when the buildings were attacked. For those who wonder, yes, I was there on 9/11. Yes, I worked in Tower 2 on the 37th floor. No, I was not in the building at the time. And, yes, I did take pictures on 9/11. While I may post those pictures later in the year. These are pictures of happier times before the tragedy and of the rebirth...
This gallery contains digital art produced for the weekly challenges in the DigitalNuts Yahoo Group. The artwork was created using various Photoshop plug-ins and other programs that modify photos to produce artwork.
Two of my artistic interests are photography and art. Now, I find that I can combine these interests by creating artistic creations from photos. I created this site to display my photos and photo art.
I use several programs and Photoshop plug-ins to manipulate the photos. Some of the artwork here was created for a group on Yahoo called DigitalNuts. A new set of photos is posted to their Weekly Nutcracker each Wednesday and the members post their artwork created from those photos. I’ve learned a lot from that group and highly recommend it if you are interested in creating art from photos.
I hope you enjoy viewing my work.
