Nice shots Christine. Two suggestions: first, your 9th (?) B&W - shows
up as 3rd row, right column in the thumbnails - has a too bright
background. As do a few others, but this is the most glaring. Can you
tone it down a bit with a variable density filter in LR? Second, all
of the worker shots are basically single portraits. Good as far as it
goes, but how about group or swarm shots? Five or six having a lunch
break, several arriving at or leaving the site together, etc. Possibly
looking down on the entrance... In looking at these shots, mostly I
missed a sense of the context, I can't tell what they are working on
and so I can't tell that these shots even belong together. 21mm?

Hi Everyone:
I've put together 2 galleries featuring the workers, and in some
instances there's some text. The 1st gallery is in color.
The 2nd gallery is in black and white, and the photographs are
different than the 1st set. There's some funny expressions in the
1st set.
Some of these photos were taken over a year ago.
To be honest, I'm in a bit of a rut with this photo project. The
team is now on the 4th floor of the parking garage, and the
construction work, itself, is a bit redundant, and I have to watch
that I don't take the same shots I did when shooting the previous
floors.
As a way to get out of this bit of rut here, I think I'm going to
get a digital tape recorder and record some sound, do more stills,
and put together a short multimedia piece. Doing this might help
rejuvenate my eyes--I feel I'm "seeing" the same shots over and over
again, and I have to do something to see new again.
