Jim Ptacek has an uncanny ability of removing the noise, commotion, and everything else we dislike about city life. In its place his photography captures a moment in history that perfectly frames the beauty of architecture that can be so easily overlooked while lost in the hustle and bustle.
In Veterans Memorial Bridge you lose the hum of the highway. From the viewpoint of the Cuyahoga River, the through arch bridge towers over the water and plunges into the heart of the city. The bridge is as big is at it appears. At its time of completion in 1918 it was the biggest bridge of its kind in the entire world.

Painstaking effort was put into each tap of the hammer to ensure Ptacek’s photo, and the bridges beauty, had justice done.
