I went to college in Hoboken, NJ in the early 80s and then again in the mid-90s as a grad student and the unobstructed view of the Towers (and the whole NYC skyline for that matter) stared us in the face each and every day as we made our way around the campus of Stevens Institute of Technology. In 1983, I remember taking a series of photos over the course of two days which showed the view of the Towers from the roof of my building on campus and then the very next day we went to the observation deck and took shots looking back at the campus in Hoboken. I have attached those photos to the iReport (HOB_2_WTC and WTC_2_HOB).

On the same day I took the shots from WTC back to HOB, I took a shot looking directly up the side of the building (WTC_lookingUP).

Anyway, that "looking up" shot ended up getting used by a few people at some of their 9/11 tribute sites (they enhanced it and cut off the chemical pouch part of it, of course).

Of course I've also got thousands of other well-preserved pics of holidays, vacations, random shots in public - all shot by a variety of cameras - including some taken with my very first SX-70. God I loved that camera. It was like a camera of the future.  I've still got 5 of them (had 2 since the early 70s, got 3 more off eBay - LOL!).

Chapter 11 is the right move, though. The time had come. Yup.
