All 911's are strange now, but this one was particularly odd for me. I was in the air early in the morning, flying back to NYC. Clear and cool. Just like that Tuesday years ago.

I was shown the Joe McNally firefighter night photoshoot from my buddy Nick Verbenec (nickverbenecphotography.com) and had to give it a go. This is the second night of shooting with trial and error. I used hand lights to light the cab and steering wheel. Alien Bees b1600 with large octabox.

Nothing could have prepared them for what was about to happen that day.

Is it getting hot in here or is it just us?
