9.11

It's odd how I can't remember something that happened last week, but I can recall every element from that day. I remember what I was wearing, what I ate for lunch, oddly enough, even what nail polish I had on. That bottle of Maybelline Pink Shock is nearly empty now, but I still have it...just because. Surely that day was the worst tragedy I have ever witnessed in my lifetime, and hopefully the last one of that magnitude that I ever see. The stories that came out of that day, though filled with sorrow, were also filled with heroics and decency. My faith in mankind could have been all but destroyed by the events that started that day, yet it was actually strengthened in the weeks following, by the stories and images of those who lived through it, and those who sadly, did not. We all remember that day differently--where we were, what we were doing, who we were with--but we all remember. And we'll never forget. Which is as it should be.
The image shown was made using macro shots of nail polish and a simple program that came with my camera. I chose polishes with names that I felt were meaningful and appropriate for what happened on September 11, 2001. I used OPI Peace Baby, Lippmann Amazing Grace, Zoya America, OPI Big Apple Red, and Lippmann Across the Universe.
yes, it's soo hard to believe that this all happened! I have to think about it today!

ReplyDeleteGod bless the people who were killed in that tragedy.
ReplyDeleteMy prayer goes out to their families.
Wonderful and poignant post. I can't believe the people that are blaming all Muslims for the terrorism. It's insane and scary. There are terrorist in all religions. Too many people have died because of their so called faith.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful post. I don't think I will ever forget that day or where I was or the events that unfolded. Thank you for sharing!
