The New York City skyline and the Manhattan Bridge illuminated by the sun. Viewed from the Brooklyn Bridge.
I have stated many times in conversation and online that photography found me a few years ago and I found, in turn, that photography and writing are two of my biggest passions in this world. This image inhabits a very special place in my heart and it’s why I chose it to accompany a post a few months back which was all about how and when I started taking photos.
It was taken near the tail-end of a storm back in May of 2011. It had rained only an hour before I made my way across the Brooklyn Bridge and as the sun started to set over New York City, the storm clouds parted just enough to allow the most magnificent amount of sunlight wash over the Manhattan Bridge. As the rest of the New York City skyline faded into the languid haze in behind the gorgeously lit bridge, I knew right then and there that photography was something that made me feel more alive and at one with myself than anything else in the world.
I am submitting this photo to the Best of 2011 - G+ Photography Book project which is a photography book created by the Google Plus community for charity. I can’t think of a more perfect image to submit.
