9/11 tribute photo from a stair climb I was ask to shoot yesterday.
I took a ton of photos at The Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tn yesterday but this was my absolute favorite. This older Fire Fighter climber 110 stories in full gear and an air pack.

Fabulous photo, story, and subject. I have a few friends in the Fire Service, they are a special breed of people. I can tell you that down here in New Zealand the whole country followed those events with......emotion. (I don't have the words) It was an awful day, a life-changing day even though it was the other side of the world. We are one people, when will we ever learn? Best wishes, Andrew.

He shows no age. You have failed to see "experience." And he "mugged" for your shot. Nicely done, show very well. Complete your photograph with his "signature?

I’d love to have got that signature but with 600 groups climbing and it pouring rain I was lucky to get the 300 photos that I did get. I’d love to heard his story.

You have a helmet number and a very good picture, bet you could find him if you tried. Get his story and give him a copy of the shot. Post it all here.
