NYC - The Twin Towers before 9/11

Hi everyone,

TwintowersII.jpg


This was a picture I took in the summer of 1974 when visiting NYC from my home country of Holland with my new Asahi Pentax Spotmatic F.
If I remember correctly with a SMC 105 mm Takumar lens, at f 5.6 shutterspeed 1/125 from the Staten Island Ferry sailing towards the southern tip of Manahattan.

Who could have guessed then what this shot might have looked like 9/11/2001....

I have used a nostalgic brown for the print the way I remember the moment, referring to the look of albumin and daguerreotype prints from the good old days.

Any comments and suggestions are appreciated

Haunting ghosts! A prelude.

That bird is like a messenger!

Damn it!

Screw it if the horizon is not true!
