In honor of Patrick's 40th birthday, I present for your enjoyment this collection of 40 self-portraits of Patrick while visiting suspension bridges. Patrick never visits a bridge without his trusty tripod. In most of the photos, you'll see Patrick holding a board with a number. This indicates the order in which Patrick visited the bridge in his renewed efforts to visit cable-supported bridges.
