The demolition of the abandoned Capitol West office building has begun. The newspaper accounts say it will take four months. Ray tells me that it will be done long before then. So, it will.

Economic crises time!
ReplyDeleteCool reflections in his glasses!

Four months does seem like a long time. But maybe that's to clean up all the mess after it's been demolished. Love your portrait again today. You've really caught Ray's essence! :)
ReplyDeleteNice couple of shots Jack. Great portrait!
ReplyDeleteLove the portrait!
ReplyDeleteI guess the company that wants its employees to be be aware of safety does not have an policy prohibiting smoking on the job.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kate, great portrait of the building killer.
ReplyDeleteReally cool image of the worker!
ReplyDeleteThe portrait is fabulous!What a guy!
ReplyDeleteNow that's what I call a cigar!! Fabulous portrait of Ray, love the reflections in the sunnies, all the signs on his helmet, his attitude, just fab! They need one of those big ball things, have that building down in five minutes haha!
ReplyDeleteI remember when you posted about this coming event... Your portrait of that guy is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic photo of Ray! Now that's the guy you need to take down buildings!! I love all the detail you've captured and what an attitude! If it's up to him I just bet the demolition won't take four months! Another great one, Jack!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why it's going to take so long!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the cleanup will take that long.
ReplyDeleteGreat portrait!
That's a portrait for an exhibition!
ReplyDeleteIt could almost look like a bombed building. What a character you found in Ray.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you'd see a building worker with a cigar over here... cigarette probably, cigar unlikely. A really good portrait.
ReplyDeleteGreat portrait, but if that guy were really pushing for safety he would not be smoking that cigar.
ReplyDeleteAfter work is my time,I can smoke my cigar. Yes Safety always comes 1St in the Company and myself.
DeleteWhat dose my cigar have to do with safety. There is nothing to catch on fire!! The safety of myself and Company always comes 1ST!!!!
DeleteI'd believe Ray.
ReplyDeleteWell, that is a classic face of construction.
ReplyDeleteThat second picture is just brilliant. It's the cigar that really makes it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob
DeleteLove that portrait! Are you kiddin' me?! Great stuff, Jack. (Glad to know he's 'Pushing For Safety' while puffing a stogie.
ReplyDeleteThank you SEQ;)))
ReplyDeleteI meant SRQ!!!
DeleteBeautiful bottom portrait, and Bob is right: the cigar does it.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with a good smoko after work.
