I recently had to shoot an assignment that represented the "Evidence of Man," in the style of Edward Burtynsky. I chose to shoot in and around a scrap yard and concrete factory in the south side of DC. You never know how people will respond to a request to photograph on their property, but these guys were very gracious and welcoming. They took me on a tour which gave me access to much better shooting angles. I was quite pleased with the results.
