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.

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.

He looks stalwart. Heh. Worked out much better than last time. I find, for myself, sometimes I don't do that well until I try the second or third time (on one particular subject). I realize later, in retrospect, that the first time around I was exploring the situation and finding out where the good shots might be (and where the bad shots were :-)). Which does pay off later, IF I go back later. Marnie :-) -- 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. At one point he said to me: "I'm going in the trailer; I'm freezing. Now remember, if you fall down that hole, Christine, we're not coming after you. We're just gonna dump the cement right on top of you." To which I replied, "right." Anyway, these pics are in color as opposed to black & white like my 1st construction GESO.

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.
