lots of pipes.. and lot of holes patched up.. seems like a lot of work to do :P

Sam (or should I say wvs!)

Just wanted to say "hey" after finding myself coming back to this site every day... and making it my homepage so when I get to work in a morning I'm guaranteed something nice to look at :-)

You take some really great, unique shots... thanks for the inspiration. Not done anything with my share of it yet, but one day... :-)

This particular image reminds me of the film "Shooting Fish" where the two main protagonists meet at a job where they have to paint all the rust spots on a huge gas tank! They end up faking it after finding out it would take them all day to do it properly... I wonder if the dude in this shot has had a similar idea?!

Anyway, thanks... I'll keep coming back!

3Avp ;^)

Top bgt deh... cool.....

Such a busy shot; had to look twice to see there were 3 workers, and another somewhere missing his shoes.

I like the grid in the shot because it divides it up into smaller pictures that each can have significance. It also reminds me of that old game show, Hollywood Squares.

I've been looking everywhere for my shoes!!Walking barefoot for weeks has given me terrible blisters!
In all seriousness, you've shot a very simple and structured shot here but it works.

so you are human after all!! ;) sorry bud but this one is not up to your usual brilliance. I'm bothered by the "lost triangle" at the top right corner and the shadowy and somewhat blurred construction workers at the bottom left. The shoes, workers and street signs make for decent composition but theres not enough contrast to pull them together.

btw "the long road" blew my mind!

Until I found them, I figured the creww had taken the silver shoes off their buddy who should have known better than to wear them to work. Then they hung them just out of his reach and all went to lunch, one in bare feet.
However, the angle of the light was not right for lunch time; so I looked more cloely, found the workers and spoiled all my fun.

I would remind you, Sam; that, working under adverse conditions, I once shot three blades of grass poking up through the snow. You said it was "cluttered, one blade would be better". Now you show me this!
In any case, it is an interesting shot, thanks.

Very interesting! I like the pattern and the surprise of the footprints.

i look at your photography almost every day. i really like this picture. i like how massive the building seems until you see the worker standing on the blywood. the lines of the construction support beams are pleasing to the eye. keep it up. :)

great image. hummm... it is a great style streeting image. " Under Construction building" is one of my favorite image styles at all.

Thats a fuckin good photo!!! Something that is there, but only a smart eye could take this and bring to us. I´m from Brazil and work with photografy on my College (Faculdade de Comunicação Social Cásper Líbero) covering events like workshops and conferences. For your work I have some words in my Language: Puta que Pariu, tá do CARALHO!!!

It's too bad some people need to see a Grand Canyon type foto to think it is creative. I like the simpicity here contrasted by busy elements throughout. I agree with Tawny about how massive this seems until one sees the working man on the scaffold. Very interesting.
