My view on 9/11 from the W Train from the Manhattan Bridge while I was on my way to work from my apt in Park Slope, Brooklyn to my office at Artemis Records at 130 5th Avenue. I was running late that morning, and while walking quickly on 4th Ave to the Pacific subway station I noticed to my left, floating in a clear blue sky, a dark mushroom cloud hovering over Downtown Brooklyn. When I reached the subway entrance a girl ran past me down the steps. “Something’s happening.” I said. “A cop told me a plane hit the World Trade Center!” she said. I thought to myself, it must of been a small Cessna. I got on the train, nobody appeared to know what was happening as they had been underground. Once the train rolled into daylight and onto the Manhattan Bridge, I started photographing. “I’m sorry, I’ll get out your way.” said the person facing me. “No! Look!” I cried, as everyone on the train reacted in horror. Once I arrived in Union Square I watched, along with hundreds of others the Twin Towers burn from East 17th Street & Union Square West. I walked the two blocks to my office, went up to the 7th floor and watched the news, then back outside on 5th & 18th Street, and amongst gasps and cries, the Twin Towers fell one after the other. I walked home to Brooklyn with thousands of others as heavy smoke billowed from the fallen towers over the East River into Brooklyn. Minus the sirens, you could of heard a pin drop as we marched across the Manhattan Bridge, my feet blistering from a brand new pair of black Dr. Marten brogues with heavy lug soles. Every 9/11, I wear those shoes. Once I arrived home at 372 Butler Street, I washed up, changed my shoes, and walked up the slope to Prospect Park West to see Brooke, the girl I was dating at the time, and as I walked I could smell the putrid smoke as small pieces of paper, from documents and spreadsheets fell. 2,977 were killed in the attacks on September 11, 2001, including 343 members of the the NYFD. Today is always a struggle. I do not like this day.

NYC on 9/11/01, captured with my Vivitar 35mm point & shoot that I had in my bag + @kodak gold 100 35mm film. Processed by A.S. Photo Lab on 25 East 17th Street.

Today at the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville, Activist Lynne McFarland, 80, was arrested by Tennessee State Troopers in the Senate Finance, Ways & Means Committee for refusing to leave Senate Hearing Room I in protest after the committee passed SB 0836, known as the the Undocumented Students Bill. The room was ordered cleared due to protests, and McFarland the last protester remaining, refused to leave. After 10 minutes of discussions with Troopers she still would not voluntarily get up from her seat which resulted in the Troopers placing her under arrest, having to pick her up and carry her to a squad car outside.

2nd image: Sgt Campbell asks Activist Lynne McFarland, 80, to leave Senate Hearing Room I after the Senate Finance, Ways & Means Committee was ordered cleared by Vice-Chairman John Stevens (R-Huntingdon) after disruptions by activists protesting the passing of SB 0836. SB 0836, sponsored by Committee Chairman Senator Watson (R-Hixson) and known as the Undocumented Students Bill would allow school districts to bar undocumented students from public schools, which flies in the face of Federal law. 4/1/25. 9:20am.

Activists Ask Tennessee Governor Bill Lee To Halt Execution Of Tony Carruthers

Yesterday in Nashvile, dozens of faith leaders, civil rights and community activists delivered a petition with 114,250 signatures to Tennessee Governor Bill Lee’s office to try and stop this Thursday morning’s scheduled execution Tony Carruthers, a death row inmate who was convicted in the 1994 killings of drug dealer Marcellos Anderson, Anderson’s mother Delois and teenager Frederick Tucker who were kidnapped, tortured and buried alive in a Memphis cemetery.

The faith leaders and activists, which included Tony Carruthers‘ sister, Dr. Tonya Carruthers Hervey as well as the NAACP and ACLU, point to untested DNA evidence that could potentially exonerate Carruthers and are calling on Governor Lee to stop the execution so the testing can be carried out.

*UPDATE* A statement from Governor Bill Lee on death row inmate Tony Carruthers was just released today, 5/19/26 at 11:35am:

“After deliberate consideration of Tony Von Carruthers’ request for clemency, and after a thorough review of the case, I am upholding the sentence of the State of Tennessee and do not plan to intervene.”

*UPDATE*
Governor Bill Lee released the following statement today, 5/21/26:

“I am granting Tony Von Carruthers a temporary reprieve from execution for one year.”

Statement from TDOT:

“Medical personnel quickly established a primary IV line; however, the team was unable to immediately establish a backup line pursuant to the lethal injection execution protocol. The team continued to follow the protocol, but could not find another suitable vein. The team attempted to insert a central line pursuant to the protocol, but the procedure was unsuccessful. The execution was then called off.”

“Congratulations! What are your goals for the future? What are your hopes?”

“My goal and hope in the future is eventually make it somewhere big in life and be able to come back, move back into my city, and just bless a lot of people that, you feel me, are not able to bless themselves or get anywhere in life. 
It’s a lot of people. I feel the city is getting gentrified a lot and I feel like it’s kicking a lot of our original people out of the city, and people are having to relocate who are original, originally from Nashville. So my goal is just really just to come back and bless those people who can’t make a way and who are being pushed out. Where am I going? Wherever the Lord takes me.” Antonio Mathews, Antioch High School Class of 2026

“For me, I’m big on helping people. I hate seeing, like, homeless people and I feel like the city and people could definitely help a lot more. So I always wanted to be about helping folks. I want to go on with my life helping other people succeed, or who’s not in the position to go forward in life. So, yeah, I’m a big people’s person, you know, so that’s what I want.” - Brandon Kearney, Antioch High School Class of 2026

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! I wish you all health, happiness and success in whatever avenue in life you choose to travel. Cheers, ray

“I developed this when I was 15. It’s a suicide survivor tattoo that I designed myself. I am a survivor. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t do it again, ‘cause it really affected people around me, and I’ve never broken a promise. That’s kind of how I just took it one day at a time and this represents me being able to be stronger than what I’m going through.” - Veronica Rose Alford
