I have written about my experience walking across the Golden Gate Bridge in March. It wasn’t a pleasant one. When I came home and after I wrote my blog post about it I found myself wanting to watch The Bridge again. I don’t know why. This bridge has been haunting me.
What I did not tell you about that day was that I was also shooting photos on a roll of film that I would send overseas to Brendan for another round of his International Film Swap project.
The photos from the bridge are as haunting as the bridge itself. Kind of spooky, actually. Here, have a look:

Honestly. Does this need any explanation? It gives me chills.
Final Resting Place
I showed this to Raf and the first thing out of his mouth was, “Final resting place.”
Bridge or mortuary?
When I shot this sign I thought it was kind of funny and rebellious. If you look closely you will see that right under the word “Bridge” is the word “Mortuary” (from Brendan’s double exposure). Indeed, the place feels very haunted to me. Lots of very sad souls there.
There are more really cool photos from the swap that are less morbid and I will share them in another post. Stay tuned!
My exposures are from SF (obvs) and Brendan’s exposures are in Dublin.
