Several years ago I posted a number of Minnesota Workers as a theme, which I think I will resurrect again since it was so interesting for me. No-one refused to accommodate me and were pleased to be photographed. This man is working on a newly-designed complex being built on St. Catherine University's campus (right behind our house): apartments, studios, assisted living units as well as a memory wing. I'll show you more photos of the construction of this ambitious project tomorrow.
Always nice with portraits, you should try to get a few facts about the people you photograph.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he loves his job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful man. I agree with rambling round, he does look so comfortable with his work.
ReplyDeleteGreat smile!
ReplyDeleteYou have to be a hearty soul and dressed warmly to work outside in the Minnesota winter.
ReplyDeleteI agree with brattcat, he's a great looking young guy.
ReplyDeleteNice portrait, Great Kate! He's seems to be a cheerful chap and I beat he has a good sense of humor, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend
Very fine photograph ... you charmed him for sure. Reminds me of the women highway workers I posted on Colorado in Color a few days ago...same color outfits.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't as cold in Colorado, though. Of course, I took the shots in September! :-)
Now, what's a "memory wing." I'm getting to the point where my memory takes wing ev'ry once in awhile...so this might be a place for me ... ah, if it was in Florida!
I like these 'at work' pictures...
ReplyDeleteIt's a great portrait, Kate. I wonder if construction workers here would smile at you as this one does...
ReplyDeleteGreat portrait. I am with Steffe, talk to him. Is he married? Blogging? ))))
ReplyDeleteThis is a fine photo and I look forward to seeing more in this series. I have found most people delighted that I want to take their photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat Randy said was the first thing I noticed too, great smile!
ReplyDeleteLove this!!! Absolutely great smile!!!
