World Trade Center in Remembrance
The International Photography Hall of
Fame and Museum is presenting an exhibition
of a large panoramic photograph featuring
the World Trade Center prior to the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001. Photographer
Everen T. Brown’s 360-degree
image measures an amazing 12-feet long and 2.5 feet high. Brown took
the photograph,
above, from the top of the South
Tower on the morning of January 1, 2001 to
commemorate the beginning of the new
millennium. Brown wanted his image to
benefit those involved in the terrorist attacks
and has created a 13x38-inch poster, which
is being sold for $25 each. All of the proceeds
will be donated to the American Red Cross
September 11th Fund. You can order a
poster at the photographer’s web site located
at www.everent.com. The panoramic
print is a gift to the IPHF from Brown.
