———–

7 years ago around this time, I was driving a friend out into the city to her job because she was late getting up and needed to be in the office by 8:30am for an important meeting. At that time, I just got laid off from Clear Channel Communication, so my schedule are FREE. I decide what the hell, I got nothing better to do anyway. I normally do not take the Tunnel out into the city, because of the $3.50 fee. But because we were running late, she told me to take it and will pay me back, plus the drop off spot was downtown area. So make sense to do that.

I remember traffic were pretty back up. and once we came out of the tunnel I happened to look up and said “oh world trade center is on fire”. I didn’t think much of it at that time… but once the 2nd plane hit the second tower, I knew at that point New York was under attack. I am not going to get into details anymore, but I will always remember what happen that day. Many of my friends do work in those buildings or in that area. Just so happen that Tuesday, they all decided either to take the day off, or they were running late into work.

Here’s some photos of that morning from my camera.

My wife wasn’t the only one who didn’t have to get up for work today.   Our NY and NJ office are closed today too.    So got up early, made some coffee and  some yummy blueberry pancakes for the wife and kid.   Then we headed out to Prospect Park.  It was windy and cold.  We didn’t stay out too long.  Here’s a few shot I managed to get before heading back home.    They say the Eye of the Storm is not even here yet….   Our Mayor is still deciding if school should be cancel or not  tomorrow.     Gonna try to head back out later tonight for more pictures and to clean/shovel the car, in case school is open so wife can go to work.

On a different note…  I took my new Boda V3 Plum Lens bag out for a weatherproof test.   So far so good.   and  I am loving my new Black Rapid R-Strap RC7….   will be reviewing those later the week or next.

Here’s a post I wrote last year.
