Today I thought I would share an image I captured last week at work. We had an old warehouse beside our main building that needed to come down for several reasons. I would go out every once in a while to capture the progression of the demolition. this was the second day and the interior of the building is already on the other side of that wall completely collapsed into the basement. So I go out and talk directly to the guy working the excavator who is basically down below where the wall is missing. I ask him are you going to pull that remaining wall down into the center of the debris and he says definitely in a few minutes. So I immediately walk uphill by the cedar tree on the left and proceed to walk to the right! So I am about where that high bouncing cinder block on the left is and I am looking at the wall and notice it start to oscillate so I start walking a little faster just in case and boom, it all comes crashing down toward me! I had a 14-24 wide angle on, had exposure set already and when I saw it coming I turned my camera toward it and fired a sequence hoping to capture something as I retreated. Since I was shooting wide angle I am pretty sure those blocks were even closer than they appear here. When the wall hit the ground it exploded with some decent energy, enough so several cinder blocks actually went about 8 feet inside an open garage to the left and I remember contemplating running in there when it all started. For me it was not one of those heart pounding adrenaline rush moments, but when I look at the force behind the flying blocks, I am pretty sure that could have been a life altering impact. My guess is the operator was trying to pull something off the other side and exerted a little more pressure than he intended. To top it off my boss was standing to the far right 40-50 yards away watching it all. She said you do anything for the shot?
