Skeletal Elevator


I thought I might take some pictures of people working at night. I saw a group of construction workers waiting for a lift up the side of a building around 20th and K Streets NW. I walked over to them and asked one guy if he was working the night shift. "From 9 to 5 in the morning," he replied. The I said, pointing at the elevator, "I bet that's kind of scary going up in that?" "Yeah, it is."



Less-Than Skeletal Elevator


Marvin and Jose are brick masons that work the night shift. They work the night shift because of the high traffic of K St. At night it's less likely that pedestrians will be hit by falling bricks.
