George Forss Made Magical Photos of the Towers Before 9/11

“The first time I saw it, I loved it because I had never seen the Towers from that vantage point before,” Wrynn explains. “They were so enormous, but this image makes them human scale. I can imagine building a Lego version of the Towers. . . and that it would look as they do in this image. ” .
