Remembering 9/11
I created this 14 minute slideshow five years ago, so it's a little dated, but the sentiment is timeless. This slideshow represents my own very personal journey in the wake of 9/11. It was, in a sense, my therapy, my way of trying to make sense of the senseless and coming to terms with the realities of war. Many of the images are disturbing. The first half of the video is about grieving, and the last half is about hope. May this slideshow serve as a reminder that our lives have value and meaning, that peace is a personal process, and that we are all connected.

It took me awhile to watch this because the first time I started to, the Internet cut out half way through it. The second time I tried to watch it, I was interrupted half way through it.
It's awesome! Must have been many hours of work, with so many photos from so many different places, and quotes, and history photos, and music. It's amazing.
I had just arrived in NY the day before and on the morning of 9-11, I turned on my old iMac which I brought with me, plugged it in, and first thing I saw on my Yahoo home page was the Twin Towers with a plane crashing into it. That is how I heard the news. I kept refreshing the page to see more news as it was all happening that morning.
There is no TV up there, and I guess the radio wasn't even tuned into NPR yet that morning. I thought I was seeing things. But it was real, and it was happening just 4 hours southeast of where I was in that state.
I viewed this on the 7th anniversary date. It is a powerful photo tribute. Has this been made available for purchase on DVD or download? I would love to have my own copy of this inspirational memorial to this tragic historical event.
KW - The video slideshow is not for sale. It is part of my personal collection. Email me using the link in the right-hand column of this page regarding a download. I am happy to share it.
