This shot was a full page cover for the college paper.

This was with my new, and not much used, Canon A1, sometime around 1980.

Night Shot with Dropped Camera

During this timed exposure, the tripod fell over.  I managed to catch it before it hit the ground, thank goodness.  This is the result.

It’s not so much a bridge as it is a light show.  Looks like you’re on a starship.  Kinda.
