This house, under construction during the two-week period while I was visiting this beach community, did not exist when I arrived, and seemed almost finished when I left. The construction workers who built this house worked quickly and constantly to get the job done. I found two of them working on the roof early in the construction phase, and using my long telephoto lens, photographed their efforts from a neighboring street. In mid morning, the scene was backlighted, abstracting the image for me and making it more symbolic than descriptive. I liked the way the light softly illuminates the framework of the building, making it seem to glow. The clouds in the pale sky echo the rounded shape of the tree leaves that seem to be blessing the scene. The utility poles and wires embrace the construction site – nothing gets done without the power they provide. Yet the key to the idea itself -- the speed of construction -- is the body language of one of the workers. One of the men hunches forward as he carries a piece of lumber towards the framework, while his colleague bends over behind him to pick up a tool or materials. There is a sense of urgency in the body language of the man carrying the lumber that makes him the focal point around which the entire image revolves.
