The Brooklyn Bridge

So a couple of weekends ago Amy and I went to visit Alissa in Brooklyn. We wanted to do a fun photo shoot on the Brooklyn Bridge and decided to go ahead and wake up at 4:30am and do the whole sunrise thing. Now, I'm not reeeeeally a morning person, but I have to say that it was totally worth it. Not only was the light amazing and the bridge incredibly empty...but we got to see this crazy girl (below) climb out on the bridge supports. Fortunately she was just whimsical...not suicidal, and we saw her climb down not long after. Little too whimsical for our taste though. :-)



Alissa has been incredibly patient waiting for this post while I worked on other photo projects and packed for a big move that I'm making this weekend (or thought about packing, the truth is I haven't packed a thing). But this weekend Alissa is leaving for South Africa to teach there for the rest of the summer, so I had to get this post up stat!





And here is Amy...who also patiently waited for the post...and was a much better subject once the crazy climbed off the bridge. :-)





If you've noticed that these photos are different than others, there is a reason for that. Jason bought the Jesh de Rox fine art textures for me recently and I have had the best time experimenting with them on some of these photos. If you don't know his work, I recommend you check it out. It's amazing.

Anyway, if you'd like, you can click here for a slideshow of some more photos of Alissa and Amy and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Now I must go pack...for real. ;-)
