Brooklyn Bridge New York - USA - Craig Howarth

Brooklyn Bridge NYC - Craig Howarth - Vesuvio Gallery

The Brooklyn Bridge, built between 1869 and 1883, connects Manhattan with New York's most populous borough, Brooklyn, at the time one of the country's largest cities. The bridge is one of the most magnificent landmarks in New York.

The first person to jump off the bridge was on May 19, 1885. His motivations for doing so included the desire to demonstrate that people did not die simply from falling through the air, thus encouraging people to be willing to jump from a burning building into a net.

I wanted to take this photograph late at night so that there wasn't many people around on the footpath, this was a 30 second exposure at 12:45am, I took many different images as there was a wind, which worried me as I thought it would create movement on my tripod. The result as a fine art print and canvas is just stunning... More "New York / American Cities" can be view at:- Vesuvio Gallery

Vesuvio Gallery Launch went very well

On August 15th 2011 Vesuvio Gallery had their launch party in Cardiff. Some of my work was showcased there, it was an excellent evening with great feedback and bags of positivity all the hard work over the last 6 months paid off for sure. All 10 artists work can be seen on - Vesuvio Gallery.com. Lots of interior designers, architects, bar owners and restaurant owners were present all equally impressed with the artwork that was on show, looking forward to plenty of Vesuvio Gallery Commissions in the future... Congrats...

Just can't wait for the actual physical gallery to open later this year, where there will be a new artist showing their work every 6 weeks, exciting times for Fine Art Photography and Paintings in Cardiff with a new type of Gallery...
