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.

You watch yourself. Construction sites are far more dangerous than people think, and injuries are rarely trifling. An office worker might get a paper cut if not careful, a construction worker will lose a couple of fingers, or worse. Be really aware of what is above you. Things can go sideways really quickly and a couple of thousand pounds of out of control steel isn't pretty when it hits someone from a few stories up.

Nice job. Last November, a tree fell in front of my house taking out some power lines. I played with my bigma, getting some shots of the PGE crew the next day. There's a very interesting body language to men working on that sort of job.

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. Bob Hi Everyone: It was a $itch of a day out at the construction site: very, very cold, damp, and flurries. But the drilling continued on the 1st caisson for the super-structure (indoor parking garage student services building) as well as dumping cement and the drilling for the 2nd caisson (last 2 pics in GESO). They will drill a total of 90 caissons. The construction guys had some technical glitches, I couldn't get my 360 Pentax flash to work right--I was very close to pitching it down that over 50 foot hole (1st pic). And I didn't check the K10D, so, without knowing it, I ended up shooting jpegs on that body--ugh. And the light of course was dreadful given the weather. Still, I had a blast. The construction guys were really nice had no problem I was there. I was able to get close; the assist. foreman feels more comfortable letting me roam a bit freely.

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.

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.

Re: GESO Construction
I like the angle of # 4 and i like the tight crop on # 8. Number 12 is a cute shot. You even have a hard hat.:-) The workers seem relaxed, you must have gotten permisson to do this.??

Nice documentation. Might you try a color image or two ? I'd also suggest you try to minimize the inclusion of soo much sky.

Hello Christine, Very nice collection. You do great work. An aside, I find it very difficult to meaningfully comment on an entire gallery. Takes up more time than I have to devote.
