George Sellar Bridge

I’ve wanted to do a photo story on the George Sellar Bridge for many years. A story that will appear in the Nov. 26 paper about the bridge as a landmark named for a local person prompted me to fulfill my wish. But with new technology, I was able to use video instead of still photography.

I met Alma Sellar, the widow of Sen. George Sellar, at her home and we went for a hike to a vantage point below the bridge where I captured this still image of the sweet lady.

It was right at sunset by the time we got to the spot so the lighting was pretty dramatic. We went back to her home for an interview with the video camera.

The next day, I went to the bridge with my video camera and spent some time there capturing details of the bridge.

Here’s what I was able to put together if you click on this: Sen. George Sellar Bridge Video.

It was an honor to meet Alma and hear her memories.
