Covered Bridge

This photo of a covered bridge is one that I made while I was still a student at OIP&T. Our assignment was to choose a well known photographer of the past, study their style and shoot a series of images that are of the same style. We were not to try and reproduce their work just use their work for inspiration. I chose Edward Weston after seeing a series of images that he had done on barns. Weston traveled the U.S. and photographed barns and made a series of images of the barns. I have always liked covered bridges so when this project was presented to me I knew that this would be my subject. This is one of the 6 covered bridges of Greene County Ohio that I used for my project.
