This pic always gets me. Just an innocuous picture that, if it weren't for the camera quality and the twin towers, could just as well be taken today. However, as recognizable as it is as modern America, this picture can no longer be replicated. Just as life pre-9/11 can never be replicated post.
Something about the soft focus, distortion, and faded colors can make clinical photos feel more like memories. It's weird.
The text plays on that inceptioned memory and turns nostalgia into something a bit... darker
