The Buzzing of the Saws – 9/26/18

Wednesday, September 26th, 2018

CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE AN ENLARGED VIEW!

Raised with the buzz of the table saw in the garage of my youth, construction is in my blood.  I was cutting wood with the circular saw, pounding nails, and leveling ground for the foundation of buildings, alongside my Dad, as far back as I can remember.  Eventually, along with my hammer, nails, and plumb bob, a new item appeared in my work belt.  A camera.  And my transition from carpenter to photographer began.

Today, as a professional photographer, a construction photography gene flows through my veins as naturally as my appreciation for a well-engineered building.  So when We Shoot was booked for a construction progress shoot this past month, the underlying passion for shooting construction progress coursed again through my veins with the exuberance I felt as a kid working alongside my Dad.  Jumping up and down ecstatic!

Driving into Eastern Washington for the shoot, my mind wandered to the many construction progress shoots I have enjoyed throughout my career.  Construction graveyard-shift shooting at Santa Ana’s John Wayne Airport.  Early morning shooting of shotcrete pneumatically sprayed onto the grounds of a construction site in Southern California’s Inland Empire.  And now our still and video cameras are beckoned by this assignment shooting a cold-storage facility under construction east of the Cascades.

Forty feet upward the scissor lift transported Gary, me, and the expert pipe welding crew.  Up to the roof overlooking the beautiful hills and flatlands of Eastern Washington.  Capturing the welders at their craft.  Filming the crew in action throughout the plant.  Shooting the construction in all its engineering majesty. Watching with enraptured eyes the rising of the walls of this new refrigeration facility, soon to be housing the fruit of the nearby farms.  Listening with eager ears to the buzz of the circular saws.

Oh, it feels great to be back home.

The Buzzing of the Saw

Raised with the buzz of the table saw in the garage of my youth, construction is in my blood.  I was cutting wood with the circular saw, pounding nails, and leveling ground for the foundation of buildings, alongside my Dad, as far back as I can remember.  Eventually, along with my hammer, nails, and plumb bob, a new item appeared in my work belt.  A camera.  And my transition from carpenter to photographer began.  Today, as a professional photographer, a construction photography gene flows through my veins as naturally as rain falls from the Western Washington skies.  So when We Shoot was booked for a construction progress shoot this past month, the underlying passion for shooting construction progress coursed again through my veins with the exuberance I felt as a kid working alongside my Dad.  Jumping up and down ecstatic!

Driving into Eastern Washington for the shoot, my mind wandered to the many construction progress shoots I’ve enjoyed throughout my career.  Construction graveyard-shift shooting at Santa Ana’s John Wayne Airport.  Pre-dawn shooting of shotcrete pneumatically sprayed onto the grounds of a construction site in Southern California’s Inland Empire.  Commercial video of roads being laid at UC Irvine.  And after far too long disconnected from construction progress shooting, our still and video cameras were beckoned by this two-day assignment shooting a cold-storage facility under construction east of the Cascades.  And, the excitement for this type of shooting was back!

Forty feet upward the scissor lift transported Gary, me, and the expert pipe welding crew.  Up to the roof overlooking the beautiful hills and flatlands of Eastern Washington.  Capturing the welders at their craft.  Filming the crew in action throughout the cold-storage plant.  Shooting the freezer construction in all its engineering majesty. Watching with enraptured eyes the rising of the walls of this new refrigeration facility, soon to be housing the fruit of the nearby farms.  Listening with eager ears to the buzz of the circular saws.  Oh, it feels great to be back home.

See Gary and me and a little construction in our short video below.
