entry description
I like to highlight the silhouettes of buildings in Manhattan, in the particular vision that is generated from the Brooklyn Bridge, especially when the nearness of winter makes darkness approach earlier, transmitting drama to the life of the city that does not stop never. The lantern light gives the environment a very important nostalgic touch for me. Taken on November 17, 2018. I forgot the tripod so I put the camera over one of the structures of the bridge and wait to take the photo in the moment with minimum vibration.about the photographer
