After posting a few of my photographs of the “column felling” on my Instagram feed a crew member, who happened to be in the photos, saw them and recognized himself. He contacted me and we started communicating fairly regularly. He would tell me when the crews were working at night – which became my favorite time to shoot - especially when the torch crews would cut exposed rebar from the tops of the pillars. Showers of red-orange-yellow burning waterfalls would spray out in an arc to the ground and bathe the columns with a warm orange glow, accompanied by the hiss of the oxy-acetylene torches. Laden with chunks of concrete, the torches would keep cutting the rebar and the sparks would fly until the weight of the concrete and its captive steel strands would break free and plummet to the earth.
