Bridge near Highway 37
Says Zwick, an architect, of Northern California's Black Point Bridge: "It reflects a slower pace of life that is quickly being lost in the area where I live." Built in 1911 by the Northwestern Pacific Railroad, the bridge straddles the Petaluma River, the dividing line between Sonoma and Marin counties.

A man about to give a haircut
"I really needed a haircut, so I stepped into Benny White's Arco Barber Shop. I sat down in that old, red chair and received one of the most attentive and quality haircuts of my life. Afterward I thanked White and asked him if he wouldn't mind me taking his portrait."

A green bench in New York City
"I was bored waiting for a bus on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, so I started taking photos of people sitting on the benches. When the bus came, the benches emptied out and I noticed the beautiful curve and color of the bench and concrete. I missed the bus because I couldn't stop taking photos."
