It’s summertime, and summer in the city means one thing for certain: construction season.                                                                              Four months of temperate weather is the perfect opportunity for general contractors to begin (and hopefully finish) large-scale construction projects. Construction sites/sights are ever-evolving; what’s there in the morning as you swerve bulldozers on your bike to work may be completely changed on the way home—you may not even be able to take the same route due to the giant, gaping hole the city workers drilled in your street while you were at your 9 to 5. Tell us a construction story from your neighbourhood—what’s being built? Where is it? Who’s building it and who are they building for? What tools are being used? How is it affecting the area?

The Construction Sights photo contest gives Lenzr members a great opportunity to capture history in the making. Thirty years from now all those mod turquoise condominiums lining Toronto’s waterfront will probably look as dated as wood paneling does today, so capture gargantuan cranes in motion, bulldozers or cement mixers creating new architecture. Alternatively, snap photos of the people involved—are there construction workers wearing yellow hardhats or is that a cliché? Construction is intense, manual labour that works up an appetite; show us a picture of a group of hungry workers enjoying their lunches together on site.
