The Twin Towers are still in New York City

Fred J. DeVito has captured some images of the former Twin Towers in and around New York City despite being absent from the skyline for the past 7 years. He shared some of his images with City Room in a great slideshow.

He has found them in neon signs and store windows and tote bags, on keys and packages, on T-shirts and satellite dishes, on book covers and uniform patches, even on the tray under a slice of pizza. Most of these are not memorial silhouettes. Instead, they are images that were part of everyday commerce until Sept. 11, 2001. And — to a surprising degree — they still are.

With more than 750 photographs in hand, Mr. DeVito hopes to publish a book, tentatively titled, “To World Trade Center: All Times” (after the destination signs on E trains).
