A short first-person YouTube recollection by Jason Nicholas about a sketch he made of the World Trade Center on June 9, 1993. The speaker recounts working as an architecture intern in Hoboken, NJ, walking to Stevens Institute during a lunch break, drawing the view across the Hudson River, mentions mentor Dean Marchetto, the pen and sketchbook used, and the overcast/drizzly weather.
If you look, I'm going to zoom in here. So this was a sketch that I did back in 1993. June 9, 1993. I was an architect intern in Hoboken, New Jersey. Young kid, architecture school, had a really great job in the summer working for an amazing, amazingly talented architect named Dean Marchetto. An inspiration to me. I was working for him in the summer and had a lunch break. So took a walk and walked to Stevens Institute, also in Hoboken and was eating my lunch standing kind of at Stevens on the edge of the Hudson River. And this was the view in front of me. So I had a pen. It probably wasn't a Sharpie back then. I'm gonna guess it was probably a pilot precise pen I had way back. But I pulled out my sketchbook. I can remember this day. It was kind of overcast, cloudy, a little bit drizzly. Standing there looking at the scene and just sketch.
