Characters in love stories have to be in common settings, but have to meet in original ways and fall in love in original ways -- a photographer photographing country bridges meets a woman -- and then have the tragedy of not being able to stay together.
Dave Frieder, a photographer of bridges, called the city from this perspective "a sea of steel".
The art and fashion photographer David Benjamin Sherry bridges the divide between nature and artifice.
His favourite spot in the city is the Jordaan district, because "it's full of the things that make it an amazing city for a photographer: canals, bridges, small streets and historical architecture.
Among the lines of runners, bikers and the odd skater, Mr. Gloubenko was the only photographer on the bridge that night.
"To your right," he whispers as Astin rows us into the lake -- there's a photographer on a bridge who he suspects is after more than fall scenery.
Painters and photographers used the bridge as an abstracting device, a quirky container for light or an exercise in distorted optics, and competed to find new ways of looking at it.
No, over the last few months we've been running a photography competition with Ctrl.Alt.Shift under the title Gender, Poverty and Power, asking photographers to help bridge global social gaps and offering them the chance to work closely with a number of mentors.
"It was fabulous," said Steve Anderson, a retired photographer, after taking the bridge up from the park.
