Recently I photographed the new fire station being built on 14th Street NE near Circle Drive for longtime client, Knutson Construction. Although they usually have me doing architectural photography of their completed projects, occasionally they want “In-Progress” shots while a building is going up. And I’m not sure why, but I love putting on a hard hat and spending a couple of hours wandering around a construction site shooting whatever I’d like. There are always interesting lines, shapes, textures, colors, and characters. And as long as I get some good light, it’s always a fun thing to shoot. “I can’t believe I get paid to do this” is what’s usually going through my head as I climb scaffolding and lay in the dirt trying to get a cool perspective. I have to admit, it’s a pretty good gig.
So here are a few highlights from my time at the site of this new fire station. Hope you enjoy.
