This Image is easily one of my favorite images I have ever taken. This is of the the Gillis W. Long Bridge in Alexandria, LA. A few years after this image was taken, I met a bartender who told me that she, 7 years previous, had jumped from a neighboring bridge into this very river in an attempt to end her life. When she was pulled to shore, her rescuers told her, the river was practically still when it should have been running heavily at that time. If it had been she would have been pulled down stream rapidly to her death. She now spends her free time delivering speeches about su***de and tries to lead others to Christ.
