Let’s gooooo!! 🤩 @springsteen

Yooooooo wat een zaal!

I returned to NYC from my house on Cape Cod less than a week after 9/11. The first thing I did when I got home was race downtown to see the fallen towers. Many of you know this story, but when I got there and raised my camera to my eyes, a police officer approached me, whapped me on my arm, and said, "No photos. It's a crime scene." I realized then that we'd have no historical record of this horrific event if pictures weren't allowed. I had studied a few historical archives at the Library of Congress in D.C., and I knew I had to be the one to create an archive of this seminal moment in my city's - our global - history. Over the next 9 months, I returned to Ground Zero, a.k.a, The Pile, daily (with a few travel exceptions), to photograph the wreckage, light, architecture, and the incredible group of people who were there to excavate, clean up, rake for remains, and help in any way possible. It was a community of remarkable people - a brother and sisterhood - of ironworkers, NYPD, FDNY, Captains, Chaplains, security workers, and politicians. I snuck in daily to photograph and got kicked out daily. It wasn't until I quite literally stumbled into a group of men from the Arson and Explosion Squad, who asked what an older guy like me with a big old camera was doing down there, that I found my way in without fear of being evicted. They all quickly believed in the importance of the photographic record I was attempting to make. They gave me their phone numbers and said to call them if I had any trouble, and they'd bring me back to the site. Eventually, I got an official mayoral badge that granted me easier access to the Pile. In the end, I made over 8,500 pictures. My focus was never on human remains. I wanted to capture the place, the light, the people. I owe so much of this experience and access to my band of brothers from the Arson and Explosion Squad. Here is merely a tiny selection of some of the pictures. Many can be seen, however, at the Museum of the City of N.Y., World Trade Center Memorial Museum, Smithsonian Museum of American History, Library of Congress, and about 500 in my book, Aftermath: World Trade Center Archive. 1. A Worker in a Raking Field searching for human remains, 2002

Ohhh wat is dit vet!

Zieligste kringloopvondst ooit. 😭

Zó mee eens! 👇🏼 Laten we hopen dat deze boodschap de juiste mensen bereikt #hearhear

Zwabbertje ❤️

Dit weekend naar het mooie Zutphen. Hebben jullie tips wat te doen, te bezoeken en (vooral) waar te eten? :)

Een peuter én zwanger. Weker kan mijn hart niet, dacht ik. Tot m'n dochter (bijna 3) gisteren haar eigen naam 'en die van opa' op de verjaardagskaart wilde schrijven. 🥹

There isn't one quote we could pick out of this interview to do it justice. If there is one interview you watch today, make it this one with @matmohoric. On n'a pas su choisir une seule citation qui rendrait hommage à l'interview. Du coup si vous devez écoutez un seul interview en entier aujourd'hui, faites en sorte que ce soit celui de @matmohoric. #TDF2023

Haha Hetty 🙌

In Radio Milko is vanmiddag Melvyn Wolthers te gast, zaakwaarnemer van oa Luciano Valente bij FC Groningen. Vragen over zijn vak of de voorbereiding van de FC in het algemeen? Stel ze hieronder of via sport@dvhn.nl en we nemen ze mee in de uitzending! ⚽️

De Natuurbeschermingswacht geeft op haar site een update over de op handen zijnde uitspraak over Rammstein in Groningen. We wachten mee...

Ha @shossontwits, ik wil je graag iets vragen via DM. Zou je me kunnen volgen zodat ik je een bericht kan sturen? Veel dank alvast. :)

Als gemeente en provincie hun werk solide hadden gedaan, had een kleine club enthousiaste natuurliefhebbers uit Meppel niet tienduizenden Rammstein-fans in de greep gehouden. Dit was te voorkomen geweest, is mijn conclusie na de rechtszaak vandaag ⬇️ dvhn.nl/groningen/Rechter-la…

Wie die fraaie docu op Netflix heeft gezien weet dat hier meer aan de hand is dan your average singalong

Dat was ‘m. Mijn mini @springsteen tour. Amsterdam, Landgraaf en Düsseldorf. Muzikale opvoeding van Ukkie begint goed. ☺️💛

En we mogen nog één keertje naar Bruuuuuuuce @springsteen! #Düsseldorf. {3/3}
