The bridges of Porto
Porto has become a favorite destination for tourists from around the world. The reason is that it is an old city with a lot of history.
History that is very associated to the river that also has its mouth in the Port, the river Douro.
Also famous are its bridges, six bridges and some of them are engineering landmarks such as the D. Luis bridge (whose engineer was Gustav Eifel) and the Arrábida bridge (by the engineer Edgar Cardoso).
They are the reason for this series of pinholes made in black and white negative 120mm with ZeroImage in 6x9cm.
