About the Book
Complete construction documentary spanning from 1967 to 1979. Contained within are nearly 300 color photographs which depict the former World Trade Center twin towers construction. Hands down the most extensive photographic history of the Twin's construction still in existence. Each photo has never been published before and each one is unique and extraordinary. Photographs show the destruction of "Radio Row" in lower Manhattan, to excavation and steel erection, each stage until each tower's topping out!! A brief history of the towers political hurdles and the complexity that went into building them is also included to complement these photographs. A half-century ago The World Trade Center was constructed. Under normal circumstances, The World Trade Center's should have stood for centuries. Unfortunately, they were gruesomely destroyed after only 30 years of having graced the Manhattan Skyline. This historical account documents the twins birth!!

Photographer, cinematographer, and author. My love of photography began at a young age. Film is a passion of mine and is all I shoot with when taking still photographs or motion pictures. I am also big on conservation and keeping history alive for future generations. I have donated countless artifacts to the 911 Museum in NYC, much relating to the Original World Trade Center Twin Towers and their construction which I used in correlation to write my first book. Born in the great state of New York, I now reside in New Jersey.
