9/11/2001

Took some pix with camera, but settings wrong, pix overexposed, but I will try to use them in some way. 

Watched news coverage all day to almost “pornographic” levels. Images so horrifying and so shocking—that two huge skyscrapers are totally gone, and the sense that something like this has finally happened. (It’s the “Titanic” of the 21st century that I thought about). 

I kept hearing “act of war”, “US will retaliate”, and I shuddered at the thought of a world war starting. Perhaps this is our way of sharing the world’s pain. 

Other thoughts: 

The boundaries of the oceans—how we feel protected by them; The day that changed everyone’s thinking;

Connects with people on so many levels—the “where were you when Kennedy got shot” phenomenon

How will this affect art?
