Since my teenage years, September 11th has helped mark the passing of time. I find it hard to believe that it's been 14 years, but a lot has happened in NYC. The Freedom Tower was completed last year. Brooklyn Bridge Park was completely revamped and is now more of a tourist destination than ever. But most important of all, the city has healed but will never forget. As a yearly tradition, I like to photograph Tribute In Light. This year, I went to Brooklyn Bridge Park and Pier 1 to shoot the awesome site.

In recent years, Brooklyn Bridge Park has become known for its art installations. The famous stained "glass" house (Kolonihavehus) is now gone, but now there's a new exhibition from Jeppe Hein called "Please Touch The Art". This is one of the pieces on the lawn.
The sunset took longer than expected, and a ton of people showed up to see the lights.
The beams of Tribute In Light reach toward the heavens, and are only interrupted by clouds.

Headed over to Pier 1 and stopped to take this photo outside of No. 7 Sub on Water Street.
Pier 1 also had its share of photographers.
The city has really done an amazing job with the park and the pier in the past few years.
