Three days after the massive Golden Spike Sesquicentenial celebration at the Golden Spike National Historic Site in Promontory Utah workers are taking down all of the temporary infrastructure. The tie commemorating the location of the Golden Spike is on the track near the center of the image -- the slightly smaller, very smooth and finighed railroad tie.
"I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination"

Self-portraits can be explored in earnest as an artistic intent to share and as an internal process, similar to how view other photographic genres. Such as with urban or structural studies, which I pursue and may categorize as historical documentation or something more artistic.
I also view the (nude or not) self portrait as a way to reflect on my or other's perspectives to our aging bodies.
You will find them below the bridge that goes over the railroad track in Clifton. They are turning mud into adobe bricks the high tech way. It involves dirt, water, a couple of other ingredients, some specialized machinery, the right weather, and a whole lot of hard work.*

Construction workers have always fascinated me. Working in all kinds of weather and at heights that make me sick just to think of how high. The geometric lines and shapes really lend themselves to a papercut and I hope that this will be an ongoing series of papercuts of Men at work.
Shot in August 1969 with a Pentax S1a on a trip to Zanzibar while working in Tanzania. Forgotten photos that bring back pleasant memories. Scanned on a Nikon Coolscan 8000 with small Photoshop "fixes."
I lacked inspiration for this list item but saw these men at work on a local roof yesterday. Not the best of photos but it's another one ticked off.

This is the second in a series of Men at Work. Those geometric lines are captivating to me and although this papercut is so time consuming----I still have to find the time to do it. I hope you like it.
Well he might not be.
I was on my way to try and catch a fabulous dawn (it didn't happen) for my Secret South London series when crossing a rail line I came as close to manly industry as I'm ever likely to. A massive signal gantry was going to be lowered on to a low loader train and these men where doing some sort of preparation work to the rails.

inspired by the works of Lewis H. Hine, dedicated to all those people who do their job with pride, dignity, and skill. They are in control of the giant machines they use or the colors they wear, at home in space, not dwarfed by their constructions.
Sí, las vacaciones se han acabado, ahora toca trabajar duro para ganarse las siguientes... 💪
