Transmission Lines

I have just returned from an interesting assignment for a long time client of mine. I was shooting in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico. My client Tri-State Generation & Transmission is currently installing a 117 mile long transmission line. It is my understanding that the cost comes to about $225,000.00 per mile.

The power lines are installed by use of a helicopter, the pilot pulls the line about 2 miles before the line is spliced together. I also shot the construction of the power poles, these poles are of the wood type. I was told that each pole costs about $2,000 - $2,500.00 each.



On the last day of shooting, I had the opportunity to shoot the helicopter from a large bucket. I was about as high as the tops of the power poles, that was a lot of fun! I've attached a photo of me in that bucket, Eric shot this while I was working.

Say Goodby to August

OK. it's still August. I have just booked the last available dates for the month of August. Business has been wonderful, shooting most the time now. Sometimes not having the time to even process the images between assignments. Crazy!

I leave for Meeker, CO tomorrow for a 3 day shoot with Tri-State Generation & Transmission. Home for a few days and back out the following Monday through Wednesday. Shooting a book cover on Saturday the 19th and back out of town to Birmingham, AL to shoot ad's for Trinity Hospital. I'll be in Birmingham until the 24th, I'll than drive to Jackson, MS to shoot the last of the 4 cabinets from a previous assignment which you have know idea about. I just have not had the time to post like I like to.

I'll be home on the 25th and back out again. This time it's to Thunder Bay, Canada. I have a client I've been shooting for the past 3 years. I'll be shooting underground mining. Palladium that is. Look for photos on future blogs.

Just returned from Springerville, AZ shooting a 400 megawatt power station owned by Tri-State Generation and Transmission Corporation. My assistant Erik and I flew to Springerville on the Tri-State plane just for the day. I'm attaching some of those images here.
