Still Here: The Suicide Bridge by ~kgx:iconkgx:

Artist's Comments

The bridge that you see here, goes over a motorway. A motorway with cars and trucks at speeds of over 100km/hr (approx 65/per hr). A bridge that didn't have those barriers a few years ago. A bridge that's minutes walk away from New Zealand's largest university. A bridge from where several of these students jumped off to a horrible death. To avoid a horible life. To avoid misery. To avoid pain. To avoid regret.

But she is still here.

A HUGE thanks to ~tymkowski for letting me use his model :worship: He's one of the most brilliant (fashion) potrait photographers I've ever seen :clap: Check out his gallery! I've had this concept in my head for ages and would never be possible without him :)

:bulletblue: Photo location: Grafton Bridge (aka Suicide Bridge), Auckland, NZ.

The single most important thing in all of what is currently happening is this: community. Without community there is no deviantART. °jark 8/2/05
