The New River Bridge


I took this shot with the self timer on my camera.
It's 876 feet down to the right of my foot.

My first jump off the new bridge.
Man...it was lonely there that day.
Notice the old Wonderhog container which was
the most popular container during this time.
Nov 1981

This is part of a layout that I shot in 1976 as a
newspaper photographer for the states largest paper.

The bridge deck was to be installed next.
