"The Bridge Project" Bridges, highways, walkways and overpasses
The second Photo Urbanism Fellowship was awarded to Jonathan Smith for “The Bridge Project,” a series that captured the city’s bridges, highways, walkways and overpasses. Smith undertook an in-depth photographic study of New York City’s bridges, with the aim of capturing both the structures, large and small, and the spaces they command. An exhibit of photographs from the project was held in March 2005.
Program support provided by the Cygnet Foundation and Paul Warchol Photography.
"The Bridge Project" exhibition was on display March 23, 2005 at the International Center for Tolerance Education
