Thanks Reilly. At that point in time I was on the fence between Music and photography. I had my own B&W darkroom and loved the process. I really wasn't very good at photography though, just shot a lot and got lucky once in a while, so I went into music. Of course then I got hooked on climbing and that was the end of that.
I loved taking pics of those towers. You know those buildings shot up like weeds, they were built so fast. The north tower was finished in a span of four years between 1966 and 70. That means the basic structure went up in two. I lived on Staten Island then and saw them every day.

there are many architects in nature
it is pleasing to become aware of their work as it is not displayed for our pleasure but deployed as an object of utility
and we seem to value abstraction of form and content
those common things around us providing material
the work of another being, the moisture of a cool fall morning, the distracted recognition of a form apparently floating in space where none should be
