Tappan Zee Bridge "A symbolic span over which Westchester and Rockland Counties will move virtually overnight, twenty years into the future" When Governor Thomas F. Dewey made this pronouncement in December of 1955, it does not seem as though even he knew how true his words would be. It took till 1989 and "Field of Dreams" to coin the phrase "If you build it they will come", but someone could have very well made the same observation during the 1950s in reference to Rockland County New York.

For my final photojournalism project I decided to take pictures of really tall buildings in London such as the Shard. For a while I wasn’t sure what I was going to do my project on and I was thinking about doing it on the process of opening and closing a local shop like Paul’s. I wasn’t really that motivated by that topic so I soon forgot about it. The idea to do my project on architecture came from my visit to the London Eye. When I was there I realized how vast and large London was and how many
