Connecticut Bridges Marilyn Rabetz

In 1981, Walter Rabetz went off to photograph the Connecticut River Bridges. He went with his 10 year old daughter, Samantha, and the trip resulted in both a powerful bond between them, and a series of beautifully distinctive black and white images. Then, in 2013, Rabetz took the trip again with his artist wife, Marilyn. Together they took photographs of many of the same bridges. This book is a pairing of the two trips: recent color images against older black and white images. Arranged to suggest visual parallels rather than geographic accuracy, the book celebrates both the bridges and the trips.
