Construction sites are intriguing places to take pictures. The raw components and geometry of the building are open to examination, and many of the components of visually stimulating art are represented. There is also room to think about the work. There's no rush to manage a living subject, and the different components can be abstracted from each other. The material itself is almost inconsequential: the photographer, you, are giving it a voice through the medium.

When I lived in New Hampshire, there were many construction projects around, and I had a lot of opportunities to explore the potential. One of my favorite prints is printed on a poster and hung on a wall over my desk. Here, such things are not quite so common.
