In Minneapolis, the 3rd Avenue Bridge has spanned the Mississippi for a hundred years, connecting downtown with the Northeast neighborhood. It’s newly renovated and is now pretty spiffy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I did a couple of trips and a lot of shots before getting what I wanted. From out on the bridge the view of downtown is nice, but not exciting; it’s far from the big iconic buildings. And the bridge itself is utilitarian.

I liked the feeling of being out there<\/em> behind the railing, looking over the river to downtown while… just thinking about it. I wanted the image to have depth, with the city pulling you in, away from that flat black river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun has just set, you’re alone, the river is dark and cold, but traffic streams by on the bridge and bright lights are up ahead. You want to go there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
