Old stuff is so cool...be it machines, buildings, tools or a person. So much character, soul and personality...serving a purpose for so long. Great video Max, you really captured it.
Very surprised to find out this icon of your hometown is being pulled down, fond memories of my visual encounter with it on my honeymoon, sad. Thanks for a poignant farewell.
maybe it's just from being a skater most of my life and identifying so strongly to landmarks and inanimate objects that something like this hits hard. The memories made and forgotten along that bridge must be endless...thanks for the video dude.
Born in Vallejo and grew up in Vacaville. Worked much in the bay area in my youth and have crossed that span countless times. Now, more than 30 years later I live in the INW and did not know of the closing. If I had known I would have made a special trip to cross her one last time. Alas, opportunity missed. Makes me more than a little sad.
You outdid yourself this time Max. Great idea --and great use of yr lo-fi video esthetic.

ReplyDeleteA transistion from the past to the future. From the old bridge to the digital billboards. I wonder how many people crossed that bridge.
ReplyDeleteThat was great .

ReplyDeleteExcellent...

ReplyDeleteYour blog rules and this video just reaffirms it! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteLove that relic of an old bridge. My fave is the little tiny pieces that make up the major trusses. Millions of pieces of steel.
ReplyDeleteYour little vids make it seem so peaceful. Reality is that every trip on the bridge is a full on scrum.
Keep it greasy.
