The Way We Were
Uploaded: March 27, 2006
Photo taken on 9/9/01-just two days before the demise of our cherished Twins. Strangely, I awakened that Sunday morning with an unrelenting urge to spend the day photographing the Twin Towers. I followed my heart. Little did I know...

What a very poignent photo and story to go with it Tamra, it really makes you feel that awful day all over again (ac) #416063Tamra Walker March 27, 2006
Thank you. I didn't know if this would be too controversial a topic for this site. Thanks for your positive response. #2580083Gary Lange March 27, 2006
Beautiful image, Tamra! Nostalgic, too. It's a sorry state of affairs when people are afraid to do normal things because of the fear of "offending" someone. Your image is very good and should stand on its own. Thank you for your tribute. #2580488Kenneth Mucke March 27, 2006
It really puts things in perspective...Thank you for taking a stand in here... #2580522Lori Carlson March 28, 2006
Thank you for sharing this with us Tamra. This is a great capture. Love that bright yellow you captured with the water sport. Nice and carefree. Unlike how we would feel a few days later. Again, thanks for sharing. #2585616Tamra Walker March 29, 2006
