Monday, November 25, 2013 - Thanksgiving Break

For these shots like many before, I didn't have a real direction in which to shoot. I just set out in my car and try to catch as many happening, sights, and occurrences as I can possibly capture.  Sometimes this yields good results, and sometimes I come up empty-handed or just don't hit the mark that I'm trying to achieve.  On this jaunt, which only lasted a little more than an hour, I found myself on 8th Avenue just past 8th Street by the railroads (For some reason I tend to gravitate toward the train tracks and back-alleys of Huntington...) at a building where there were four construction workers up on a scaffolding hammering out the loose bricks near the roof of the structure (presumably knocked loose from the windstorm?) and their foreman down below leaning up against the building beside it.  His leaning up against the building next to the one they were working on is what initially got my attention as I drove by.  These aren't my greatest shots, but I think they're compelling enough nonetheless.  Took over 50 shots, but only 4 made the cut (I'm struggling with exposure, still getting some blown out.)
