You did promise photos on your new site, and I guess you have delivered. But I was hoping for happy photos with colour and movement like last time- instead of sad photos with no colour and lots of movement…

yes kartika was right. ihope you you have videos instead of boring black and white pictures.
I think the photos are incredibly moving.
Although previous posters have asked for colour and movement – I think that time stood still on that day.
Thank you for sharing your pictures. I can understand why you felt ambivalent about showing them. However, they are a part of history. One should never feel guilty for recording history. Incredible and important moments, in history, come to us at any time. Those moments have always made a person feel a bit peculiar. When the reporter was on his job, back in either the 20’s or 30’s when the Hindenberg crashed & burned before his eyes, he reacted very emotionally. The photographers continued to film and the radio reporter continued to talk albeit he cried. But, that too was part of the history. So, too are you a part of that day in New York. That’s life. One just never knows. Now we have a sense of how those who live before us felt when they talk about events that happened in their day such as at Pearl Harbor. My mother’s uncle was a news photographer for Fox Movietone News. He went out on the wing of an airplane and took the newsreels people still see in TV documentaries of the air battles over Pearl Harbor. He could have easily been killed. His name was Al Brick. One never knows how important their pictures may be. You did right. Never hesitate to take that picture. One never knows until later how much it might matter.
