One Year Later
Whatever one's feelings about rampant nationalism, the choreographed tributes and the official responses to 9/11, a year later one can still be touched by people's individual acknowledgement of the event. I took hundreds of pictures of Old Glory as I walked the streets of New York City. Whether it was little windowsill shrines or children's messages to parents and teachers, or even a re-painted fire hydrant, it was a reminder that tragedy can still bring out the best in people.
I was moved by the sight of the scarf of the Liverpool Football Club hanging on the fence at Ground Zero showing the words of the Rogers and Hammerstein song that their fans sing at every game, "You'll never walk alone." |
