A construction worker attaches a section of waterproof sheathing to the west wall of the COPC medical building being built at the company’s headquarters on Africa Road. My Final Photo for Nov. 23, 2020.
I carry a bunch of notebooks and a variety of pens and pencils. I’ve written in a notebook during Sunday services, pulled off to the side of the road and into parking lots to write down what I don’t want to forget, and thrust pen and paper at my wife in the passenger seat with instructions to write exactly what I say. Notetaking is essential to me finding photos every day. It doesn’t matter what type of notebook you use. It matters that you use it.

It rained all day. I made photographs most of that time. Well, at least I looked for photographs from the dry, safe confines of my car. I did step out several times and drying my cameras is easy with a simple and effective tool. I keep at least half a dozen in my car and more at home.
A white coat of paint gets rolled onto the faux barn door on the side of the new carwash being built in the parking lot of West Park Plaza on Huber Village Blvd. My Final Photo for Nov. 20, 2020.
I’m sticking with the story that it was the wind that blew my drone into a building. It’s not my fault. It’s never my fault.
A work crew returns brick pavers to a section of Grove Street after making repairs to the damaged and uneven underlayer. My Final Photo for Nov. 19, 2020.
I’d planned exactly what I wanted to shot first thing in the morning When my subjects, a crew of construction workers, weren’t doing what I expected I pivoted and used experience to put me on a path for a photo.
