Dear All:
As a project to make myself feel useful, as well as perhaps to do something for other people, I am attempting to build a repository of sorts of images of the World Trade Towers from better times. But not just any pictures; rather, I was inspired, in rewatching "Being John Malkovitch" and seeing the towers from the Jersey side (attached), to try to assemble a collection of pictures/screenshots from DVDs/stills/what-have-you that have the WTC as a backdrop. For example, I would guess that "The Sopranos" has shown them from the Jersey side at least once, and I know I saw a Jeep ad last night on TV that did the same. Naturally, what I'm hoping for is to create something on the Web whereby others can at the same time remember what the twin towers really looked like (and just how they dwarfed their surroundings) and grapple with the magnitude of their destruction. There's no object lesson, no moral I'm imparting, just a possibility.
So if you know you have something in your collection -- but no news articles or anything that is in some way specifically referential to the attacks, please -- do send it along and I'll keep you posted as to what I create.
Scopophilically, Tk (lazlokovax@toast.net)
