This is a screenshot of the website "Project Watch" that I never published. I wanted to track all of the transportation infrastructure projects going on in Chicago when Mayor Rahm Emanuel was elected and hired Gabe Klein to be the commissioner. The city wasn't tracking the projects, although they said they intended to.

The images from the series “Infrastructure of Artifice” were shot on location in the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands in 2007, using a large format view camera. Being the largest port in Europe, (second only to Shanghai globally) the Port of Rotterdam is a construct of enormous proportions that necessitates the globalized economy in which we all reside. In an increasingly globalized world, society becomes ever more homogenized creating a level of disassociation and isolation within the human psyche. The photographic gaze is drawn to the literal infrastructure of the port, at the same time highlighting the artificial construct of a landscape entirely reclaimed from the sea. This extreme example of how humankind affects the ‘natural’ landscape acts as a metaphor for the implications of artifice within the modern world. The images herein, seek to meditate upon the Port of Rotterdam as a simulacrum of modern day society and how this reflects upon the human condition.
Taken from the Bidwell Bar Suspension Bridge over Lake Oroville. Considering the size of the reservoir and the apparent distance from and boat landing, it was surprising to see inflatable kayaks under the bridge.

Installing Silva Cells on the Glenmore Median in Kelown, British Columbia. In July 2010, 390 Silva Cell frames and 390 Silva Cell decks were installed beneath the median of the Glenmore Bypass between Kane and Yates Roads to support new trees.

Photography from a flight over the North American prairies: the journey was from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan into the province of Alberta. A snow-covered landscape shows an interplay of light and shadows.

CSX 5120 trails around the curve whilst running around their train, passing by the old infrastructure for the original Lynch 3.
An old check dam on Clear Creek near Norris, Tennessee.
There are several dams along Clear Creek. The upper check dam was built around 1916 to provide power for a nearby mill.
The bank helps protect York from flooding by the River Ouse. The shadows, cast by a fence, are on a metal affair (possibly corten steel - the stuff that develops a protective coating of rust) whose function I haven't yet divined. Something to do with a flood gate and a small stream that approaches the Ouse at this point, I think.

On my walk around the city September 11, 2014 Christchurch New Zealand.
Almost $40 million is being spent each month repairing Christchurch's infrastructure. To date, 38.4km of wastewater, 18.6km of water and 1.4km of stormwater pipes have been replaced and 91,990 sqm of road pavement.
Christchurch's horizontal infrastructure was significantly damaged by the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. As a result, a strategic network repair programme was developed, jointly funded by the Government and Christchurch City Council, with the work programme managed by SCIRT (The Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team).
SCIRT was established to manage the operational requirements of the infrastructure rebuild on behalf of Government and the Council. SCIRT is a collaboration of both owner organisations - the Government, Christchurch City Council and New Zealand Transport Agency - and non-owner organisations - City Care, Downer, Fletcher, Fulton Hogan and McConnell Dowell. The project is of an unprecedented scale and is estimated to cost $2 billion. For more information visit strongerchristchurch.govt.nz.
Infrastructure to authorise movements in Lithgow Yard was still controlled from the signal box of that name by semaphore signals in 2008. These are situated near the former Eskbank Station.
Other infrastructure details to observe at this location include: ornate awning brackets atop cast iron columns; the old goods shed; and the 1950's vintage overhead wiring staunchions. September 20, 2008.
