Zurich, Switzerland
A solitary figure crosses a bridge over the River Limmat as fog softens the city’s winter geometry.
I arrived in Zurich on assignment, not knowing quite what to expect from a city I had only imagined. When the work was finished, I gave myself an extra day to wander with the camera—no agenda, just the freedom to see what the city might reveal.
It was the season of grey. The sky hung low, the streets were quiet, and the stone buildings seemed to absorb the light. Color felt unnecessary. My Kodachrome stayed in the bag.
Instead, I reached for the black-and-white film I had packed along almost as an afterthought.
Along the River Limmat, one of Zurich’s graceful bridges emerged slowly from the fog. Two lampposts framed the scene, and the arch of the bridge created a simple, balanced geometry against the pale sky.
Then a man appeared, walking alone across the span. His stride carried him cleanly into the frame, a brief human gesture within the stillness of the morning.
I exposed two frames.
This was the first.
And the best.
It was also the moment I realized that Zurich would reveal itself not in color, but in line, shadow, and tone.
