Sweet, I have just the photo! (It’s #2 in the Tacoma gallery of the Fine Art section of my website, www.wallflowerphoto.com, if anyone’s interested.)
That’s funny … off and on I’ve considered the possibility of promoting sales of this photo as a sort of fundraiser for the bridge. I even attended a few Save Our Bridge meetings years ago to suggest the idea, but it was obvious that at that time the group was little more than people who wanted to get together to complain. I’m glad to hear a more organized effort is underway!
Hey, if any artists need help making high-quality giclee prints of their Murray Morgan images (or any others), I’m in the process of launching a new fine art printing business. Just contact me through my photo business email for now if you’re interested.
