As a photographer, there's always a list of places you aspire to capture at least once in a lifetime. When I stumbled upon a photo of the Brooklyn Bridge, it sparked an immediate obsession to visit and recreate that image in my own unique style. A friend from high school had relocated from Poland to New Jersey, presenting a perfect opportunity to not only reconnect but also fulfill my dream shot!
To prepare, I first visited the Bridge during the daytime with friends, scouting the area to perfect my composition. The next day, I had to rise at 4 am. My friend graciously drove me to the bus station, and by 4:30 am, I was on a bus bound for Manhattan, surrounded mostly by commuters, mainly Mexican workers. From Manhattan, I boarded a subway to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Navigating through the bustling city was a challenging feat, but I was quite proud that I managed to navigate smoothly. The weather couldn't have been better. As I arrived, the sun began its ascent, and at around 6 am, the streets were nearly deserted. The conditions for capturing my dream shot were ideal, and the excitement I felt at that moment is something I still vividly remember!
