Then I wised up. "She's not real," said I to myself, "she's a photo." Clever folks these construction guys.

By then, however, I was more interested in the blazing early morning sun, and wondering what that light would do when it started bouncing around inside my camera.

Not that I actually thought any of this. At this point I haven't got the foggiest idea of what I was thinking back when I was taking these photos.
