Pole dance (sort of)

Hi all,

I was walking through Plaza de la Constitución in Mexico City, when I saw this men assembling some kind of structure.

Nikon F100
AF Nikkor 28mm 1:2.8D

Saludos,

Mauricio

Mauricio, the use of film, and them hanging of the scaffolding, reminds me of the construction worker photos of large sky scrapers being built in the US in the beginning of the 1900's

Very dynamic composition.  Agree with Armando.  Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Armando,

I was looking for the contrast of black and white film. I am beginning to experience some "street photography".

Hi Akira,

Thank you for your comment, a was not aware of the dynamism until I saw the scanned file. While I was shooting I tried to tilt the camera to get a nice composition, the final position of the men at the structure was a nice surprise.

Saludos,

Mauricio
