It’s been a long time since I shot sunrise from the Ben Franklin Bridge Walkway. The first time was in September of 2009. Now seven years later. I photographed it for the second time. I really wanted to see how the city has changed. From this vantage point there has been very little change. I will have to try this from other parts of the city. I know that there are other views of the city that have changed immensely over the years.

This photo is the first one I ever had printed. It's hanging in my parents house. I think it's time for an update.

Many people ask me if I'm hanging off the side of the bridge. The answer in no. There's a pedestrian walkway on the bridge. You will find people walking, jogging and enjoying the view. The Port Authority drives a smart car to patrol the walkway.
