Gino called me first thing this morning to see if I could go out and film Mr. Williams operating a large Link-Belt crane that few people in the city know how to operate at a construction site on Albuquerque’s west side. I drove over and took video and photographs for a couple of hours and compressed the video footage into a three-and-a-half-minute video of Mr. Williams hoisting trusses up onto the roof of the building under construction. The framing contractor is Nelson Framing. Jerry Nelson, the owner, and Gino have worked together on many projects. The building contractor is Bradbury Stamm Construction. The Superintendent of the construction site was kind enough to lend me a hard hat and vest to wear. Nelson’s staff working with Mr. Williams on the ground and on the roof came over and introduced themselves before they started hoisting trusses.

Miss Ing Link, the large Link-Belt Crane set up in the middle of the building project.

Il paparazzo delle costruzioni


Il paparazzo delle costruzioni looks rather stylish in that getup
Ha! I was a construction worker many, many years ago. Thanks, JYP.
Nice to see you. Tim! You look the part very nicely. The photos & video are excellent. And I love the sunflowers 🌻 🎶
Thanks, Christine.
Wow what great pictures!
Thanks, Becky.
Isn’t the paparazzo supposed to be wearing a black cat too?
No CATs when were doing Link-Belts. Thanks, Danzig.
Then, who does all the snoopervising???
When there are no CATs it’s often the Deere in this case it’s Miss Ing Link. Thanks, Deborah.
No doubt about it… that ‘Il paparazzo delle costruzioni’ looks like a pro!
Ya gotta look the look. Thanks, Herman.
Well I must say
A rather handsome looking paparazzi. Are you sure you were not hounded for pic and interview 🤔
What will the modern world do without these magnificent cranes.
Superb video and the accompanying music to. Tim and his guitar. Love it.
Cranes make construction and lifting big things so much easier. Thanks, abvr.
Exactly. You are most welcome Timothy.
I can’t get over how large that crane is! It dwarfs the multi-story buildings.
It’s huge. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Great shots Timothy, is there anything you haven’t done? Love the pictures, love the sunflowers 🌻 have a lovely day.
Lots of things. Thanks, Holly.
Lol
Nice photo of you in hardhat and vest, Tim. You look the part of Construction King!
Skies, flowers and even the crane is beautiful. I am sure it does take a lot of training to operate one of those things.
Thanks, Lavinia.
Il paparazzo delle costruzioni has been very busy! What a beautiful nightsky …sunflowers and dawn. That crane is huge! Love the music.
Thanks, Marina.
Well you were wearing the colors of construction! Great to see you!
Thanks, Nancy.
Il paparazzoo delle construzioni has created a nice video for the company to use in its bids 🙂
Thanks, Dale.
😀
Nice jazzyish tune!
Thanks, Tiffany.
Oh what a great shot of the paparazzi!
Thanks, Julie.
I keep my own hi-vis jacket and helmet
in the back of the ute so I can get in to
any construction site saying I’m a
workplace safety inspector ⛑️ 😎👍
I thought about I should keep a vest and hard hat in the car for such reasons. But my car doesn’t have much space to store a hard hat. Thanks, David.
Loooooking good in a hard hat, Tim!
Well, that was a different video. You did great!
The music was perfect for it.
Yeah! xx
Thanks, Resa.

Every little boy’s dream – wear a hard hat and watch the big cranes go to work. Similar to my (and Brad’s) former employer’s “toys” they are certainly fun to watch.
Weren’t you a CAT man? I worked a lot of construction in my teen years. Thanks, Brian.
Yep, and we have very big toys – especially the ones where you can stand vertically in the wheel hubs.
