I went to see an photographic exhibit today at the State University of New York at Old Westbury. More on that tomorrow. I haven't been there in years! The architecture since the very beginning is very modern and is amazing. This is a walkway from the main parking lot high across a lower roadway, and the walkway takes you to the second floor of the main building. I always remember this walkway as a cool subject for a photo. You find the perfect angle and then hope that the light is perfect, anbd then younwait for someone to cross the bridge in order to complete the photograph. Done and done!

Very modern, but I love the glass walkway bridge with the outside shining in. Do you know when this was built?
1968 or early 1970's I think. I had been on Long Island since 1966 when the construction started. Here's a story - around 1974 I think it might have been after the Newsday Sunday Magazine started I did a major 2 day fashion shoot in one of the new buildings. The cluster of a couple of buildings were all concrete with angled shapes and it was the perfect background for so many of my photographs. I want looking for those buildings and they are gone! Apparently many years ago they were demolished and new buildings replaced them. I should try and find a couple of those fashion shots!
Very modern walkway. Would love to see your fashion photos from 1974…
