A friend of mine just posted a very different perspective of this same bridge (it's kinda popular here in Portland) and it got me thinking. I posted the following comment on his picture and then realized that it speaks to a more general truth. So, I'm reposting the comment here:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
There is a good reason this bridge is so iconic. One thing I love about it is seeing how different every shot can be. Of any place I can think of, this bridge is probably the one that brings out all that is unique about each photographer who shoots it. Unlike other iconic places, there isn't really a "sweet spot" from which to shoot. Unlike "the" Japanese Maple or Multnomah Falls, where photo after photo is shot from the same vantage, this location invites the photographer to wander around. Weather conditions, time, and camera type all make a difference in how each image is captured. So there is something new to see in new images at all locations. My point isn't that I dislike "the tree". But this location brings a whole new element in that it can be depicted in so many different and creative ways.
Sorry to ramble, but this shot got me thinking about this. Like all PDX'ers, I've seen this bridge a thousand times. I've even shot it a few times myself, of course. I've seen it on sunny days and in fog. But I've never seen this before. And that's what makes this location so unique. A creative person with a camera can create something entirely new where so many have traveled before.

This is my son's favorite tree to climb. I wanted to focus on the tree but include him in it to show that this is his tree. The light glowing behind him and his expression exudes the confidence and sense of exploration that I see when he is up in his tree climbing. f/5.6 SS 1/160

New post | depth | From my photo class. Learning about how depth can be shown in ways other than the traditional ‘leading perspective lines off into the the distance’. Here you’ve got objects close up, in the middle distance, and in the far background, giving the impression of three dimensions even though a photograph is, as always, flat. | www.very-simple.com/blog/2017/01/27/depth/ | (live link to blog in bio)
