Bridges: The Science and Art of the World's Most Inspiring Structures

Product Information

I found the layout of this edition to be practical and easy to follow. Each bridge has it’s own section featuring photographs (taken from different angles, seasons, depths of fields as well as closeups of the art and architechture of each bridge), history, facts about the bridge (dimensions etc.) as well as a satellite map with a yellow arrow pointing to the bridge’s location. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a book so meticulously prepared, it is indeed a labour of love. As a photographer working on my second book on photography, I understand the massive amount of work that went into the preparation of this gorgeous book.

I loved that the author immersed himself in the culture by photographing something that most people would not think to photograph, the bridges. The photos were incredibly vibrant and drew me in to the scenes of each one. He captivated them with an eye that only he probably could do.

I've never traveled outside my little Southern world, and most of the time I'm okay with that. I'm baffled how planes stay in the sky, and I'm terrified of them. Why on earth would I want to get on one?! ;) Every once in awhile, though, I get the urge to travel out of my little cocoon and see the world. Bridges of Paris gave me that urge. It made me dream of seeing the beauty up close and in person one day. As I was admiring the book one night, my husband asked me what I was doing. "Dreaming of traveling one day." In the meantime, though, I've been enjoying looking through this gorgeous book, and learning more about each of the bridges.
