Here are two different version of the same bridge. This bridge is called Tabarly Bridge under the name of the famous french sailor Eric Tabarly who has won several international cups.

 

The idea was to make a time lapse on a single image, of the sun on an architectural building, from sunrise to sunset. I had this bridge in mind and i went to check which angle would fit best my idea. Therefore i took several shot and choose to be right in front of the bridge. It was, for me, the angle that portrayed best the image of a boat sailing throughout the day.

 

I then went back the next day to take all the shots from sunrise to sunset. Everything went smooth until 5 minutes before the sun would be gone. 5 kids came and harrassed me and stole all my equipment. The incident got published in the local newspapers, was aired on the radio and even on TV.

 

I eventually got back my equipment one week after, with all the shots on the memory card. What a luck. It was like a sign for me.

 

Therefore there are two versions of the same bridge :

 

- A darker gloomy version that would be a Gotham City like version that was shot quickly and edited while i was depressed with no equipment at all, thinking i was going to shut down my company.

 

- A brighter almost mystic version that is the compilation of all the selected shots (15 images) out of 532 that i had taken and happily, gotten back.

 

These two images will always be in my mind and are landmark in my life.

 

Hoping you will like them.

 

Thank you for everybody who supported me throughout this crisis, my family, my friends, my clients, the medias, the police force, the kids who brought back my equipment, the social benevolent involved in the neighborhoood, and all the anonymous people who sent me messages and relayed the info on the social medias.

 

These two images are for sale on my website on fine art paper.
