In 2011, the tenth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks was supposed to be the last year of the Tribute in Light, an art installation depicting a ghostly visage of the World Trade Center Twin Towers in lights. Last year, I went all over New York photographing this event, despite the lousy weather. I was surprised to learn the Tribute in Light would be done again this year, and this evening weather was absolutely perfect.

Like last year, I went to DUMBO in Brooklyn and walked along the waterfront. By my estimation there were over a thousand people present with cameras. The buzz was that this was going to be the last year, which has been rumored for about the past 5 years. I don't have much commentary, so enjoy the photos.
