Re: GESO Construction V
Thanks, William! Funny thing about this shoot: when I 1st approached those in charge about a photo story of the project, the project manager was enthusiastic, but he warned me that construction workers don't like their photos taken, so I best prepare myself. Well, he was only very wrong. When I get on the site for a shoot, usually a few construction workers find a quick minute to tell me, "You should have been here yesterday. We did . . . ." Or workers ask to have their picture taken with another worker. Or a worker will shout out, "The action is about to start over there . . . ." Or I'm asked, "you got these pics on a web site or something?" It's been a lot of fun, but at the end of a shoot, I'm really tired after being out in the sun with hard hat and boots and two cameras around my neck, all the while navigating the terrain and trying to not to get in anyone's way. I have to make sure I present myself as capable, safety aware, and discreet, or I'll be yanked off the site real quick.

Re: GESO Construction II
Thanks Joseph--you're right--yesterday's shoot was about what was happening at the site to be sure. It was the drilling & cementing of the 1st caisson for the superstructure, so it had to be documented. It was so cold yesterday, & there were some technical frustrations, so I was happy to photograph the guys during some goofy moments--the mood got tense at times, so I think they saw the camera as an opportunity for a little cheerful play--a release of sorts. Anyway, thanks again. Much appreciated.

Re: GESO Construction II
Very much enjoyed the set, Christine. Lighting looks pretty good to me and I couldn't help but notice how aware the workers were of your camera. This reminds me of the threats my parents used to make as to my fate if I didn't do my homework and pay attention in class. Certainly all well seen.

RE: GESO Construction II
Excellent set of photos, Christine. I particularly like the one of the guy fitting the trough to the cement truck. I did a bit of labouring on a site in Bordeaux in 1976. It's hard work, but lots of fun when concrete is being poured. The worst bit is having to get inside the cement mixer to clean it.

Hi Everyone: It was a $itch of a day out at the construction site: very, very cold, damp, and flurries.

Re: GESO Construction
G'day Christine Excellent GESO and a good documentary of the ongoing work. I can't see any boo boos that I'd worry about. I particularly like the composition of No 5 with the bare open foreground and the train on the viaduct in the distance. Also No. 1 with the two workers.
