I moved to New York in October of 1999 and lived in Astoria, Queens for two years. I started work at Corbis, Inc (a stock photography archive) in January of 2000. I worked 90 blocks from the World Trade Center in 2001.

My wife Valerie & I were taking a cruise on the Pacific Princess to Bermuda; the last Sunday the WTC was standing, 09/09/01. I didn't realize how important this photo would become to so many people.
