Todd Lappin<\/a> managed to find some really neat snapshots of the Bay Bridge under construction from a local electrician who moonlights as a photog.<\/p>\n

I’m a union electrician (Local 6 San Francisco). I’m the guy on the job who will climb anything, anywhere, so I usually get really good jobs. A lot of guys are afraid to climb tower cranes and hang off walls, but I have no fears as of yet (except roaches).<\/p>\n

I started taking pictures at work mostly for the workers, so they could show people what they do. I was approached by one of the companies on a job, and they asked to buy my work — I had no idea! Later I was working on the San Francisco Center (835 Market St.) and the general foreman said I was wasting my time being an electrician, and that I should take photos. I now use my connections to gain access, and I try to work on the bigger projects in town. I’ve befriended many of the ironworkers who can help me get the vantages I need to shoot the photos I like to take.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
