September 11, 2001 – September 11, 2021. For the past twenty years, we gather together on this day, 9/11, to light candles, bring flowers, commemorate, and remember….
I’ve had the chance to photograph 9/11 ceremonies, commemorations, related events, and memorials on September 11 of each year, as well as throughout the years. Here are a few images:
