A photo from a great a trip with the SJCC.
The city’s youngest bridge, and the hemisphere’s longest, spans New York Harbor from Bay Ridge to Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island’s eastern shore. The public works genius Robert Moses was 75, and the master bridge designer Othmar Ammann 85, when the Verrazano-Narrows opened in 1964.
“We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.�
Tom Stoppard quotes (British Playwright, b.1937)

I agree the photos are spectacular with the vignetting. I’m an art enthusiast and have emerged myself into a circle of photographers who loves this technique. These photos remind me of an exhibition I once saw a while back at the Phoenix Art Museum .
Lynn, Thank you for the nice comments. Great link, I like Lori Reeds work it’s very Fresh.
Ralph, FYI, I removed the girls to keep the posts more focused on a subject.
Looks like you had fun in NYC. Love the vignetting of the Verrazano Bridge. The two girls…are they SJCC members? I haven’t met them, yet.
Credit for the B & W goes to Denise for the idea, we didn’t have a great sky to work with, very flat and grey and also Nik Software Silver Efex Pro with the Holga preset.
But it was an awesome day, excellent trip, it was a lot of fun except for I was beat up by an un-named female member of the club because I didn’t share her love for Smithville. lol
Credit for the trip goes to Vince Rossi for a very smoothly organized trip.
