six mini-golden gate bridges is a fun 8 X 10 small rendition of the larger piece 6 different versions of the same bridge for jordan. the photograph from which i developed the image was a gift from my friend jordan who happens to be one of the most talented young photographers i have ever been lucky enough to be friends with. what attracted me to jordan's photo and which i intentionally emphasized in this piece (and its much larger parent) was the fog. it is almost as if it is eating or shrouding a specific part of the bridge. but i digress. i have pasted below most of the individual panels which make up the big parent piece.

each of the individual renditions of the golden gate bridge image is 8.5" X 11" so that when put together, they make for a 17" X 33" image (six different versions of the same bridge for jordan). this image and the next four are both details from this larger piece as well as free-standing images in their own right.

this is my favorite of the panels. i can't say exactly who or when, but this version reminds me of a very distinct california advertising style, very northern california to be as imprecise in my precision as possible. just as i think of currier & ives as winter and new england, whatever this style's name and whomever this style owes its look to, i always see it and think "berkeley, beat poet, san francisco, city lights, chez panisse." anyone know the style i am in homage to in this?
