Assisted by it’s catchy slogan “Make it Reitz,” and a hard-working construction crew, the J. Wayne Reitz Student Union is currently undergoing the beginning stages of a much-needed facelift, scheduled to be completed by the Fall of 2015. The first major step was the complete demolition of the Union Colonnade and it’s surrounding area. As that first chapter comes to a close, construction workers from Skanska enjoy a few days of less demanding work before the next major step, what they call “major pile and lagging,” begins.

I believe the type of photo story mine most closely aligns with is that of the visually consistent and thematic. No one construction worker dominates the photographs. Instead, they are evenly divided amongst some of the hardest working individuals on a self-proclaimed “slow day.” And that theme, one that depicts the working hard, hardly working every man on a day of relative relaxation, is what appears most prevalently in my album.
