Thanks, Jack. I doubt I'll ever get good at posed shots--the whole endeavor
feels so unnatural to me. Thing is though, I never asked for any of the
posed shots. Tom, the very tall iron worker, often asks me to take a
picture of him and someone else, so I just do. He often puts his arm around
someone, and I take the shot. I'll eventually print up the pics of him, so
he can have them as a keepsake. His is a large, warm, friendly soul, and he
gets a little sentimental over the long friendships he's made through his
work. It's very sweet really--and I see no harm in obliging him. That pic
of the 3 guys with the shovels was a similar situation. They wanted a posed
shot, and I obliged. My husband always giggles when he sees that shot. His
caption for that shot is "We bury all the mistakes." Cheers, Christine

Finally got around to commenting on this well done set.
Mush prefer the casual "catch" shots to those posed. Some really pro grabs,
Christine.
Glad I took a squint!

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.
