< Back to Portfolio

This collection of images includes the not so glamorous aspects of construction. Projects run back to back at a quick pace and often blend and fade to some degree from our memory but what remains are the experiences, for better or for worse, that shape us. Here we recognize the daily grind, the minutia, the ridiculousness, the profound, the victories, and the always meaningful subtleties of our long days in & out of the Field. Here we recognize the process. Here are people and raw materials on their journey, taking their place, becoming form.

Pictures are added often representing what is currently happening on our projects and in our lives .
