Proximity and Distance


We have begun to develop a bit of a routine around the Bridge bike loan known as 'Bridgit'First of all I cycle to the other side of the bridge leaving Will with the cameras on the Stavanger side. I wait near the bus stop and ask the pedestrians if they would like to use the bike to get to the other side. If they agree, I explain what will happen and then I wave them goodbye. I take photos of them leaving and then text Will on the other side. It did dawn on me the first time that it was a bit of a race between the text message and the cyclist, and I did fear losing this race and the bike in the process. But so far Will has been given ample warning that we are 'in business' and has been able to welcome each cyclist to the other side.
