    That definately puts the "high" in High Definition!

    Great perspective on the #3 and #4.

    I really like the first and last ones.

    The first one if only for the "WOW" factor of the label on the side of the box. To me, that's what makes the shot. 103". WOW!

    The last shot I like the mirrored reflection of the guy's face.

    This isn't a comment about the images themselves, but rather the situation. Was this a commission to document an installation or something that you found and simply asked if you could follow along? I'm curious as I'm not familiar with this sort of matter-of-fact style gig.

    Neat series and I find the last one could stand alone thumb.gif

    Cool series. While it's a good shot, that last one seems a little confusing. That's a computer monitor, not the humongous TV, right? Either that or someone has the biggest Post-It notes in the world. lol3.gif. 4 and 5 seem a bit repetitive--I would choose just 4 because I think it's better visually and gives a better sense of the size of the thing.

    HI B.D.
    I like your series. It's simple and tells a story--it's right to the point.

    I like shot #2--great visual of the sheer height this thing had to go up.
    I like #3 as well because of the view and again you get an idea of just how difficult a task this was.

    My favorite is shot #4 with the reflection and the look on his face. Though I rather hope that's not the tv we've been seeing in the previous shots as it doesn't look like anything to write home about--looks kind of small for all that trouble.

    I was commissioned to shoot the journey of the screen from ground to to the 10th floor. I shot in color, and am giving the client 180 images.

    I can't disagree with the idea of eliminating 4 or 5; I'm not sure why I picked the ones I did from a number of shots taken down from the roof. As to the last one, it's the humongous TV/screen, and those aren't Post-Its, but I'm not sure what they are.

    103" Liz - pretty damn big! $35K worth of big. Apparently it's more than a "TV," and can be used as a green screen, and for all sorts of other broadcast, video related work.

    Interesting set of shots. Certainly educational in that it is a surprise that someone would commission anyone to document a TV delivery.

    My first thought was whether this was free "Super Saver" shipping for purchases over $25...headscratch.gif I am curious as to the destination for this (office or home or other?)

    I like the series. The last one is the stand-alone shot!
