****This wonderful abstraction is the final, 14th image, in your 14 picture essay, Jen. And what a way to end. In this one image you echo its dynamic design with its function -- the bridge moves as a form of energy, just as the lights of the cars it carries homeward move with energy and speed. It is a study of form and content, welded into one cohesive imaginative design that expresses the spirit and meaning of this bridge as well as anyone could.
I can hardly wait to see these 14 images sequenced in this order displayed as a gallery in its own right -- not as part of any other gallery. Just by itself. Call it: "At the Gate of the Lion, By Jennifer Zhou, 2003. A Photographic Essay"
If you can write a paragraph about this project and your own feelings as to its meaning visually, it would be a great introduction to it on the index page of this very special gallery. We will also need to write a brief title for each image -- if you can give me a few words on each, I'll be glad to help you work on both.
