In early 1997, when I first started to photograph and document the Central
Artery/Tunnel project I quickly saw, beyond the magnificence of the
engineering, it was the skill of individual tradesmen and women who would
make this project a reality.
I also realized this would be the first thing that would be forgotten. It has been important to me to separate the honesty of the workers who are getting the job done from the politics of the project which have become considerable and external to the actual work. Both of these concerns have been the fundamental reasons I have continued to shoot. This work is about showing what the actual work looks like. I have consciously chosen to distinguish the day-to-day work from "milestone" events in the project to point more clearly to the labor. These photographs are also about my internal impressions of the project, working from inside out. I want to show what I see and feel as I witness what it is really like being in this amazing workplace. Michael Hintlian |
