Probably my favorite photo of the trip. Love the level of blur in the background keeping the focus on the face, but still allowing you to notice details like the brass gauge and dirt under the fingernails as you look closer.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District’s Special Emphasis Hispanic Employment Program Committee highlighted Hispanic Heritage Month with a special presentation on Oct. 15. While the event marked the close of the official remembrance, it featured a group that is dedicated to new beginnings.
The group, founded in 1995 by Sister Eileen McNerney in Santa Ana, Calif., was named for St. Joseph, the patron saint of workers. The word “taller” is Spanish for workshop; St. Joseph’s Workshop becomes “Taller San Jose.” In her bio, McNerney said she decided that the crush of poverty was at the heart of the gang violence she was witnessing in her neighborhood. She has dedicated herself to developing programs to move young people from violence to productivity.
Representing Taller San Jose were Art Guerrero, outreach coordinator, and Raul Guzman, program manager for construction and green technology. According to Guerrero, their programs have enjoyed a great deal of success with 92 percent of their students with a criminal record, not reoffending after completing the program. He shared with the audience that they each have the opportunity to contribute to the success of these young people.
“By understanding the challenges, the difficulties that a lot of these young people have, [remember] they all have potential,” said Guerrero.
TSJ has operated a construction program for eight years now and according to Guzman it has a rigorous application process.
“We have three sessions a year and we receive 120 applications,” said Guzman. “Out of 120, we can accept only 20.”
The applicants attend an orientation and several will drop out at that point, added Guzman. Then “Tests for Adult Basic Education” are administered and they lose a few more. The interview process eliminates several with mandatory drug testing making the largest impact on the equation. Ultimately, they end up with a pool of 30 applicants to choose 20 for each class.
“We recently had a graduation, we only graduated 10 students,” said Guzman. “The problem is it’s not for everyone. We have the same expectations that an employer does and that is; they need to be there on time every day, motivated and ready to work.”
Guzman added that to make a difference in the world today, his message is simple; get involved. Don’t re-invent the wheel but make yourself available as a mentor and share your skills, he said.
“They are very excited at the prospect of bringing their students out to Prado Dam,” said Jennie Ayala, District Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics program manager. “It will help their students understand that their training can lead to work on significant projects that serve and protect our communities. And it reinforces the importance of STEM education and careers.”
Ayala added that the work the District is already doing in youth outreach through STEM with partner organizations like Great Minds in STEM, through STEM-up and programs such as the Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Awards Conference, the Corps can certainly share skills and introduce even more young people to the concept of, “BUILDING STRONG and Taking Care of People!”
Messrs Clark & Kirkham Engineers 1872. Contractors Westwood & Wrights.
Listed gasholders at the former Bromley-by-Bow gas works, still in use , one of seven built between 1872 and 1878.
These castings are at the base of all of the "legs" of the gas holder or gasometer. I wonder whether they all say 1872, even though the order too 7 years to complete. I guess so. Some are missing.or not cast.
The listing (Grade II) reference and description is here
Westwood & Wrights was a Round Oak,Briefley Hill firm from the Black Country, but there is nothing on the web about th ironfounders.
More details in Pevsner and also here.
Gas Works erected 1870 onwards for the Gas Light and Coke CO. Originally there were 9 gas holders. Joseph Clark was the engineer, under the chief engineer Thomas Kirkham. Later holders had modifications by the fabulously named Vitruvius Partridge Wyatt. (1846-1937)* can this be right? Wyatt was a vicar.
Kirkham is in actual fact Thomas Nesham Kirkham b Midlothian c 1826 - 1908 and living at Winwick House Queens Road, civil engineer, Kingston-upon-Thames, later at Streatham. He worked for the Imperial Gas Co at Fulham, and in 1855 a photographer in partnership with Lewis Cocke at 179 Regent St London. In 1869 he wrote a paper on the The Illuminating Power of Coal Gas
Joseph Clark had built an earlier gas holder in a similar style in 1870 or 1865-6 in Pritchards Road, Bethnal Green.
More information about historic gas holders in London here in an English Heritage document.

Gordon Reid, Chief Engineer of PS Waverley. I wonder how his white shirt stays white!! I was lucky to have a few hours shooting interior shots on Waverley and was a pleasure to get time to photograph the crew who happily gave up their time.
