Commodore Barry Bridge
In the late 1980's, I began to take photographs of the Commodore Barry Bridge which connects Chester, PA to Bridgeport, NJ. Finally, I found a good location at the end of Highland Avenue in Chester to take this photo. The place is called Tidewater Terminal. And I had to climb over a fence and stand on the Delaware River beach in the very early morning and take many photos before I got the one I liked. I was using my Minolta SRT 100 35 mm, a 28 mm Rokkor lens, tripod and shutter release cable. It was a labor of love for sure. At one point I accidentally trespassed on private property and was confronted by a very angry Labrador Retriever and his owner who was sporting a pistol. After a very nervous explanation, I shook the man's hand, but refrained from patting the dog on the head.
