What better way to give todays POD to these hard working guys I came across on my home from work today. I was driving home down East Washington Ave. and while traffic was bad I figured I would pull to a side street to see if I could find any random buildings to take pictures of, but when I found none I proceeded to pull my car to a little park just before the Washington Street Bridge. To most of the drivers on East Wash I am quite sure they weren't happy to see that these guys had a lane of traffic blocked off to suck the nasty sewage out of the sewers but I saw it as two guys hard at work. My journalistic eye started twitching as I knew they had to be the POD, and even better yet I had a good conversation with the both of them (names l-r Gary and Charlie) about photography and their job for the city. I wish I hadnt been so shy at first or else I would have gotten up closer and used a wider lens looking up on my belly with them facing down. Maybe next I say, though the sky was overcast I still managed to blow out the corner which maybe a different fstop could have fixed or maybe a slightly faster shutter speed. What really drew my eyes to this shot was the fact that the pipe/tube splits the scene in half but gives you still a good sense as to whats going on. But whats done is done, I enjoyed my talk with the both of these nice guys about their "Spring Cleaning" of sorts: and got a couple more birthday wishes out of it. (oh thats right its my birthday more reason for me not to do my normal picture of me once a month thingy just yet).
