I forgot to change the settings on my camera from being outside, so this picture came out eerily dark and murky.

Men At Work . Unit Block . M Street, SE . WDC . Saturday morning, 26 November 2005
While having breakfast with Richard at McDonald in SW at the corner of South Capitol and I Streets I'd read an article in December 2005 isssue of The Southwester www.swdc.org pertaining to the 23 October 2005 dedication of the Peace Memorial Garden which on 1 October, located at the corner of M and South Capitol Streets in SW, I had unknowingly photographed two Men At Work www.flickr.com/photos/perspective/54733736/in/photostream/ who at the time were preparing the soil for the future garden.
When Richard mentioned that he was going outside, of McDonalds, to the patio to take a smoke and would return, inside, in a few mintues to continue reading the paper I'd say that I would head back home ... and take some pictures ... along the way!
Wanting to photograph the newly installed Peace Memorial Garden I'd walk along Eye, turn right unto First Street and walk toward M Street. Since in September 2005 I had begun photographing "Men At Work" www.flickr.com/photos/perspective/31594129/in/set-705008/ in the Unit Block of M Street and so as to add a few more images to that collection www.flickr.com/photos/perspective/sets/705008/ I would take this series of images before heading over to Peace Memorial Garden, which is just a block up the street.

September 8, 2014 - Sainte-Chapelle was built by Louis IX in 1248 to house Christ's crown of thorns. It was currently undergoing a restoration of the great Rose Window. Located on the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement. Paris, France.
This picture was taken from a bus. It was a rainy day and the construction workers were heading back to their homes.
These trucks that carry them do not usually have roofs so on a sunny day you see them sweating. Today I saw them trying to protect themselves from the pouring rain.
There are a lot of construction workers in Singapore who come from China, Bangladesh and my home India.
Or, more accurately, one man hammering and one man taking time out from giving hammer advice to suss out the intruder to their little party.
This is only a portion of the construction workers lining up to enter the Green Park tube station - don't know if this is part of the cooling project or perhaps the Cross Rail project (although the closest stations for that new line are Bond Street or Tottenham Court).

Orphan Works Act
If you don’t register every photo and work of art in government certified private databases, you are about to give the legal right for anyone to infringe on your copyright.
“The Orphan Works Act of 2008”, (H.R. 5889) and the “Shawn Bentley Orphan Works Act of 2008” (S.2913), were released to the House of Representatives and the Senate recently. While at first glance the law seems to be a ‘last resort’ for a search for the owner of any photograph, artwork or sculpture, the devil, as they say, is in the details.
An “orphan”, as it relates to this legislation, is an original creative work such as a photograph, graphic image, or sculpture, which is still protected by its term of copyright, but the copyright holder can’t be found. Actually, this bill makes it easy for searchers to pretend it’s hard not to find copyright holders!
REGISTRIES WILL REMOVE YOUR COPYRIGHT PROTECTION!
CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATOR:
Go to www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml to quickly find the phone number, address, e-mail of every U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, Governor and State Legislator. Please be polite. Threats only work against us artists. We need to make a professional impression to be taken seriously.
Make yourself be heard. Protect your creations. Every voice counts and so does your right to control your own creations. YOU NEED TO WRITE LETTERS NOW!
We only have a few days to make ourselves heard, as the Senate and House will only allow a short time for comments. Call them, send e-mails and fax letters.
excerpts from www.sellyourtvconceptnow.com/orphan.html
Please read up on this, become informed and based on that decision: NOTIFY YOUR CONGRESSMEN of your opinion!!!! You can tell them how you want them to vote! If enough people speak out against this, we are sure to make a difference! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
This affects EVERYONE, not just professional photographers (I'm not one). You could lose copyright to your own personal snapshots as well.
