GoldenGate800 - a photo on Flickriver

GoldenGate800

            Standing up on the headland asked my photo buddy pfeyh "Think it's possible to shoot an original shot of the bridge? ". If you told me there are a trillion shots of this icon I wouldn't bat an eyelid.. Just do the maths. Like the Eifel Tower, The Taj Mahal, Sugarloaf Mt., Goodison Park etc. it may fall apart through photo fatigue. But,  I asked the "original" question with another thought in mind. In the great scheme of aesthetics, a photographer, living or dead, owns the most unique image of this bridge ever taken. Well, makes you think what it is. Yes, I know I'm talking absolutes (bullshit perhaps). But if there were that one picture, locked away in the vaults of Fort Point, imagine the crowds - but we can never know. Maybe it was a taken by a small boy and his dog on holiday from Romania in 1959.
