Why burn your bridges when you can blow your bridges up

About a month ago we did a night shoot of the Ben Franklin Bridge.  It's a bridge that connects Pennsylvania and New Jersey - specifically, Philadelphia and Camden. My job was to hold the really heavy metal flashlight for two-plus hours.  Andrew's job was to take some awesome photographs of the bridge. We both did a great job.

While he was taking pictures, two other photographers came and went.  One came up to Andrew while I was warming my toes in the car.  When I returned, Andrew told me that he was just worried that Andrew was taking pictures for a Digital Photography contest.

I think of the Ben Franklin Bridge as a mini Golden Gate Bridge that's blue.  I drive over it every day to go to work.  Bridges are kinda cool and majestic.   I like driving over them and seeing the big city on the other side.  It's a nice feeling driving home over the Ben Franklin every day.
