Tribute to September 11, 2001

Five years ago, I was in Oroville on a photoshoot. The weather
was warm and air quality fair due to wildfires nearby. I was in
the hotel lobby having coffee when some guy came in and said
that a plane flew into one of the towers in New York. I thought
he was drunk! So I walk back to my room and slightly curious...
turned on the news. He was right! And I was in shock! I stood
there 30 minutes watching as another plane flew into the other
tower. More shock! Prayers went out to the ones that died. At
work the radio and TVs were on all day. I can't believe I photo-
graphed 18 families that day. Take a moment to reflect...that we
are so blessed in life.
