The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District recently began renovating a World War II-era converted fire station in Comrat, Moldova. The project seeks to update all living and sleeping accomodations, modernize the communication room, and add five new fire truck garages, as well as an Emergency Operations Center. The EOC and fire station will provide rescue and emergency operation services for roughly 35,000 people in 12 surrounding villages. When complete in late 2010, the facility will also serve as the emergency headquarters for capital, Chisinau, located 64 miles north. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Carol E. Davis)

Lunch atop a Skyscraper (New York Construction Workers Lunching on a Crossbeam) is a famous black-and-white photograph taken during construction of the RCA Building (renamed the GE Building in 1988) at Rockefeller Center in New York City, United States.
The photograph depicts eleven men eating lunch, seated on a girder with their feet dangling 256 meters (840 feet)[1] above the New York City streets. The men have no safety harness, which was linked to the Great Depression, when people were willing to take any job regardless of safety issues.[1] The photo was taken on September 20, 1932 on the 69th floor of the RCA Building during the last months of construction. According to archivists, the photo was in fact prearranged.[1] Although the photo shows real construction workers, it is believed that the moment was staged by the Rockefeller Center to promote its new skyscraper.[1] The photo appeared in the Sunday photo supplement of the New York Herald Tribune on October 2. The glass negative is now owned by Corbis who acquired it from the Acme Newspictures archive in 1995.
Formerly attributed to "anonymous", it has been credited to Charles C. Ebbets since 2003[2][3] and erroneously to Lewis Hine. The Corbis corporation is now officially returning its status to anonymous although most sources continue to credit Ebbets.[4][5][6][7]
There have been numerous claims regarding the identities of the men in the image. The movie Men at Lunch[8] traces some of the men to possible Irish origin, but the director plans to do further interviews to follow up among others claims from Swedish relatives.[9] -Wiki-

It is a very common scene in Banasree. New RCC based buildings are being constructed and steel is inseparable part of such structures. Steels are hand carried from the store room to the building, then lifted using rope made from jute by bare hands of the workers.
It would not be a big deal unless one particular risk was involved. Electricity supply lines run through each roads and the workers have to pull the steel(which is highly conductive) right through the electric lines. A little bit of mistake and they are fried up. Last month two workers died and a few more were injured in an incident like this.
Who should take the blame?
My grandpa Harry Jacob Mowder, front row left, and his "boss" and friend Ted Welch, front row center. Our families are still close friends, for over a hundred years now. I like the jaunty angles of their hats, and how the guy, center back, has made it more of friendly looking group.

I don't know if I like this one or the one after this image better.
--------------------
Here are a couple photos from a construction themed shoot I planned. I had really wanted to try this type of rim lighting and when I found two male friend/models I pounced on the opportunity to dress them up as construction workers!!! The best part of the shoot was watching them making a fool of themselves spread Canola Oil on themselves for the *shine*.
Strobist Info:
Two portable speedlights (Nikon SB25, Canon 580EXII) each positioned to the left and right, behind the model. Each speedlight is gobo'ed to protect the camera from lens flare. Key light is created with giant reflector in front of the models.
*This image is a composite of two photos*
This picture, showing the construction of the Union Bank at the south east corner of Bay and King, appeared in the Toronto Evening Telegram on April 4, 1910. It was drawn by the celebrated Canadian artist Owen Staples.

The little man received so many new toys for his birthday, it's been hard to photograph them all. These guys he has already named though. The workers are Anthony and Isaac (I would have gone with something more like Bernie and Al myself, or perhaps Pierre and Francois, I just love their pencil thin moustaches) and the truck is simply named "Matt" for some reason.
