Original World Trade Centre pic needed

maiden

My uncle is a retired NYC fireman who was at the Twin Towers on that day. He is now retired and has bought a plot in the cemetry so he can be brought home and buried in Tullamore.

He wants the the twin towers etched on his headstone but the problem we are having is that the guy in tullamore who does this work cannot get a pic clear enough so that he can scan it and laser it.

We have given him loads of copies etc as you can imagine there are thousands of pics out there! He reckons he needs a very clear original pic so he can laser it!

Can anyone help, please????

Is it the background (all the buildings and whatnot) that is throwing the laser machine off?

If so, you could prob use one of the pics above(the second one would be my choice) but cut out the background and everything using photoshop....

Thanks for the replies, ny uncle will be back in Tullamore in a few weeks so hopefully this info will help!!!
