That's awesome you get to document your fellow partners at work. I wish I could bring a camera daily, but it would be impossible in my work setting since I work in a military hospital/medical center.
plsand, peacefrog, Mike4AU, dmacmillan, Thanks for the compliments! I think I'm getting the big head.
DownToThis, boingyman, I have been able to shoot in restricted areas like power plants and airports by having the company designate me as their photographer for progress/QC purposes. You might can look into that. Of course you wouldn't want to plaster those photos on the internet but you can put them away for your personal use.
silverfox, Hope the shots bring back good memories. This business has a mix of very good and very bad. Not much in between!
Mar73, Good question! But if I had been directly under the load you would not have been able to see the top flange of the beam.
Thanks again everybody for chiming in. This is a friendly bunch!
