Friends on the Brooklyn Bridge

Had a great time with these lovely ladies on a private photo safari of Manhattan. I'm photographing them on the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, opened in 1883 as the longest suspension bridge in the world. It actually has a great feminist story behind it, as John Augustus Roebling, a German immigrant who designed and started building the Brooklyn Bridge, died during its construction. His son Washington Roebling took over, but become so ill with the bends that his wife, Emily Warren Roebling, was the main reason the project got completed. Because of this, she was the first person to walk across the bridge when it opened. #NYCInAFlash Book a photo safari here: http://bit.ly/1PpgVsa
