Apart from the pure historical presence of the Brooklyn Bridge, I feel a strong connection to the Brooklyn Bridge. As an civil engineer, I have strong urges to wonder how they came about determining a structure that not only solidly carries it's own massive load but also to deliver a challenging, yet usable level of service as one of the many daily arteries for New York commuters. As a photographer, I've struggled in representing that engineering feeling I get while on this bridge in my previous photos of it. I've spent many visits taking a stroll on this bridge. I've walked almost the entire length of it and shot many images but not come close to representing the sense of power I get from this bridge. As the sun was setting, not only on the bridge but in my time in New York, I found the ideal spot at the ideal time. I took my shots and in looking at the back of the camera, It looked like I had captured it. I started to pack up to head back to the car when all of the sudden, the lamppost turned on. I realized at that moment that I would have kicked myself for missing that key element, I repositioned my tripod, waited for some tourist to past and then captured this image just before it became too dark.
