Mark’s Take on Construction Photography

A few weeks ago we received a request from the publisher of a construction photography blog for an interview on the subject of construction photography. Amused and flattered that his series of photos documenting the live construction site at Downsview Park stood out enough that those in the industry were seeking advice from him as an expert in the field, Mark was happy to answer the series of questions. For those of you interested in the thought process that results in getting the shots that you see in our previous blog entries, here is a link to the interview: http://tinyurl.com/6fk4rm3

Construction Photography – Just Another Offering at Light Monkey

For the past three months we have been documenting the building of the new TTC/GO Station at Downsview Park.  The extension of the Spadina line will run from the current Downsview station to the new Sheppard West station and further to the new Finch West station.  This section of the construction is proposed to last until 2014 so this will be an ongoing project for us.  We have taken on a wide variety of work in our time and this is just another example of what we can do.  It has been interesting to see that opportunities for creating some form of art exist even in something as mechanical and – messy – as major construction.

Above you can see workers in the early stages of assembling the tunnel boring machine that will be used to create the tunnels for the new expansion.
