Bridges

>This series of photos are pictures I have taken of bridges around Austin, TX. The function and design of them vary — some are for pedestrians, some for cars, some for both. There is beautiful symbolism in bridges that is often overlooked by the bridge’s users. The combined forces of compression, bending and tension create a medium for people to cross from one side of land to another. Bruce Jackson, an American folklorist and writer born in the late 1930s, said it best, “Bridges are perhaps the most invisible form of public architecture.” They go unnoticed, but they are a necessary medium for society to function.
