The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the architectural and engineering wonders of the world. Shortly after celebration of the Bridge's centennial, Dogancay photographed the heroic ironworkers involved in its restoration. With safety nets draping the bridge, and through the artist's camera eye, his platinum prints transcend their documentary function, becoming works of art in their own right, presenting the bridge as it has never been seen before, surreal, mysterious, more magnificent than ever.Burhan Dogancay's photographs of restoration workers on the Brooklyn Bridge were taken shortly after celebrations for the bridge's centenray.
