Construction sometimes starts with deconstruction

I got the chance the other day to tour around a construction site. Actually, it was just at the edge of a transformation between deconstruction and construction.

The workers had left for the day, which made it easier for a non-people-photographer. My contact had told me about some interesting shadows inside the place, and sure enough: there they were!

And, I try to not play favorites with my images or guilt my viewers into clicking “like” but this is one of my favorite images I’ve made in a while. Just so you know.

Repetitions

The day was partly cloudy and the first shot I made was without sunshine. Almost instantly, though, the clouds moved, giving me time to make a shot with shadows that repeat themselves all the way down to the river.

How to Leave

I love some nice signage.

This is straightforward, and graceful with the way the bold strokes of the letters are enhanced by the narrow lines behind them. And also – the meaning is clear, and nothing is misspelled.

Guest Check

I guess this is the indoor version of my practice of looking around back – while I was at this diner, I looked at the order window just to see what was there. It was approximately what I expected to see.

The Silent Waiting

Sometimes when I look through dusty windows into vacated spaces, it looks like things were left behind. And usually, it looks like the tenants left in a bit of a hurry and maybe left some things that they’ll want later.

There’s something about this scene, though, that makes me feel like the items in the room were just moved in, and are waiting silently for the rest of the stuff to catch up.
