2010 - 3 angelica & patrick Untitled

It was in 1994 when I took this photo. Patrick was 11 years old then and his first time to see New York. It was also his first and last time to see the World Trade Center.

The day previously, my family together with my son, Patrick rode the elevator of the 110-storey building South Tower to reach the ‘Top of the World’ observation deck at the 107^th floor. The whole afternoon was practically spent viewing the spectacle that could be seen 400 meters above the ground while we munched hot dogs and fries.

Patrick would be happy to keep this photo to make him remember that he was once atop this memorable landmark in New York, seven years before that tragic day of 9/11.  

A beautiful shot and a remarkable story, Lester!
