The last few years have really tested my character as a person and left me plenty of reason to question things.  I had taken a position of authority that had me dealing with difficult situations, battles that seemed to never end, trips inside a courtroom a couple times, police, loss of family members and hurtful words that have stayed with me longer than I expected ever would.

Some photographers wait their whole lives for an encounter like this. Imagine how excited I was to have it show up almost on my doorstep.

From the AY Jackson Lookout many people have viewed this very bridge, many more have crossed this same bridge.  I am one of them that has made the journey several times to the other side and of course, back.  This one particular afternoon however a different kind of crossing happened for me.
