I meant to write a post here today reflecting on what September 11 means to me now that it is an anniversary of an event slipping farther into the past. As I started to write, however, I realized I wanted to do more than just reflect on my own experience, and I wanted to reach a wider audience. So my reflection became an op-ed, which I was proud to have published in today’s Yale Daily News. It’s my first op-ed, and you can read it here. I would be honored if you would.

Update 9/12/08: I wasn’t at Ground Zero, or even in New York, but I felt as this photographer did. This year was different.
