On his first job as a project manager for Century Steel Erectors, Beckett captured ironworkers erecting a truss some 437 ft above the street. The truss frames a view that includes Pittsburgh’s iconic PPG Place skyscraper, the river and beyond. Inspired in 1999 by a retiring ironworker’s visual record of his entire career, Beckett has taken, to date, approximately 10,000 photos of projects he has worked on across the U.S. He routinely sends photos to the union hall and to Century Steel’s main office for their use.
