About The Project: This image is from a larger body of work titled Seventy-Five Views of the Golden Gate Bridge--a collection of black and white photographs inspired by the Japanese artist Hokusai's, Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji. Following in Hokusai's footsteps, I' seek to capture the Golden Gate Bridge in a variety of seasons, weathers, and moods. I often tell myself that the Golden Gate Bridge is like a marvelous movie star with an unlimited wardrobe: she uses the fog as evening gowns, clouds as hairstyles, and the waves as her high-heeled shoes. As the wind continually shifts her garments, I do my best to capture the show. I often tell myself that the Golden Gate Bridge is like a marvelous movie star with an unlimited wardrobe: she uses the fog as evening gowns, clouds as hairstyles, and the waves as her high-heeled shoes. As the wind continually shifts her garments, I do my best to capture the show. Shooting the Bridge, I have run into many hidden challenges. Often the fog, wind, and stinging rain are so cold that I feel like I'm working in snow country. It's almost as if the bridge has her own private weather systems, which she swirls and commands to protect her secrets long before I can even finish setting up my tripod. Most challenging of all, the Golden Gate Bridge is among the most frequently-photographed landmarks on earth: how then can I find fresh ways to capture her timeless beauty. This in turn means learning how to see the Golden Gate itself with fresh eyes--to transform a postcard landmark admired by millions into revelations frozen in time.  Large edition available: Print: 42 x 42 (106 x 106 cm.), edition of 7 prints & 1 AP.
