Susan B. Anthony & Fredrick Douglas Bridge

Rochester under the bridge, day shot with the members of the bridge framing RochWith the completion in the last year of the 490 Suspension Bridge, dedicated to Susan Anthony and Fredrick Douglas changed the complection of the Cityscapes that photographers have been shooting of Rochester over the last decade.

Business directory uses five of my shots to headline it's Rochester section and the NuLook Collision brochure has a day shot of the Rochester skyline on it's cover.
My favorite angle on Rochester, using the bridge as a frame to the photo.
