Mexico City. Mexico. August. 2011.

Workers are set to receive and place this 3,000 pound concrete panel onto the new Evergreen Point Road lidded overpass on SR 520.

 

The busiest construction weekend yet saw crews tackle installation of girders and concrete deck panels at four overpasses along the State Route 520 corridor from Feb. 24-27, 2012. All lanes of the highway were closed so crews could move more than 4 million pounds of massive concrete girders for new lidded overpasses above the highway at Bellevue Way Northeast and 84th Avenue Northeast. Concrete deck panels were installed at Evergreen Point Road and 92nd Avenue Northeast during a chilly weekend that saw heavy rain, hailstorms and plummeting temperatures.

one thing about where I'm working is that I can watch lots of construction happening. my boss calls it "the Engineer's Soap Opera"!

 

Griffin Drill Rig and Construction Workers Installing Methane Gas Extraction Wells in Kentucky.

The crew constructed and installed 24 methane gas extraction wells made of 8” PVC pipe at depths ranging from 60-99ft in depth. The extraction wells were tied into the landfill’s existing system by means of 4” HDPE pipe buried in the topsoil.

My first submission for Strobist Bootcamp II.

My shot of Len below, Len's shot of me above.

 

I tried to work the composition of these shots around the theme (re: Financial Meltdown) as best I could. I live in Korea, so finding someone who is unemployed (read: drunk all day) is like shooting hookers in a barrel. You can't miss.

 

If you can't tell, this is us doing anything for a buck. Today, we're digging for gold up in them thar hills!

 

Strobist Information: (both shots)

SB-28: 1/4 power, high and slightly camera right, shoot through umbrella

SB-25: 1/8 power, gridded, aimed at the center of the guys' backs

SB-80x: 1/16 power, gelled blue, shot through the stump

A blue collar worker, doing blue collar work. We don't often think about it, but if it wasn't for construction workers we would still be living in caves. It is people like this worker who have (literally) built the country we live in today. After all, our houses, streets, and buildings didn't build themselves!
