This picture seems to represent the kind of image marketing that Haw talked about in his essay. He thought that as early as the opening ceremonies, the constructors of the bridge were trying to present the bridge in a certain light, he says, "The bridge's dedication ceremony was a glaring attempt to direct and define the terms through which the bridge would be discussed and represented." Also, according to him, the attempt was a great success.
The photograph captures the architectural grandeur of the structure, the wide expanse of sky, the city on the opposite bank, and also an American family making their way over the boardwalk. The image that I believe this picture suggests, as well as the image that was presented in the opening ceremonies through the involvement of the city's mayor and borough presidents as well as the reading of Walt Whitman's "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," is the symbol of classic America. This seems to have been built to give Americans a focal point of pride, it symbolizes achievement, possibility, and in some ways (though this may be a stretch) the American Dream. The poem, "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" compels the reader to really look at the passage of time and space looking over New York. Whitman uses this sense of infinity, describing the sights minutely yet remarking on how other will see these same sights hundreds of years hence to pull the reader into a feeling of strange companionship. The reader, looking at these sights, is connected with the hundreds of thousands of people who have seen the same sights and will see these same sights. In some ways, I believe that the people at the opening ceremony wanted men and women walking across the bridge to feel connected to a larger, grander picture than just a practical, man-made structure thrown over a river. They wanted the people walking on that bridge, looking at that bridge to feel a connect when they saw those towers.
