Andy’s pictures tell a thousand words

 

Featured today on the SKANSKA Intranet.

Amateur photographer, Andy Wilkes has been chosen from thousands of hopefuls to help document the run-up to the Olympics in pictures.

 

Andy, a document controller with a passion for photography, is one of a hundred BT London 2012 Storytellers. Over the coming months he will be issued with various challenges to complete in his spare time. He has already attended a test event and had his photos published on a dedicated website.

Working on the ODA Lot 1 project, Andy is in an ideal position to document progress of the works, taking photographs of the roads and bridges we are building as well as the major arenas. To assist Andy, Skanska has agreed to sponsor him by helping with some new photography equipment and the loan of a laptop.

Commenting Greg Craig, Managing Director said “This is a great opportunity for Andy to combine some of his time at work with his hobby. I look forward to seeing his photographs of our completed works in use and alongside the major stadiums for this historic event.”

BT is a partner for the London 2012 Olympic Games. In May 2011 the communications giant launched a competition to find members of the public to help chronicle the story of the Olympic and Paralympic Games from one-year-to-go right through to Games-time.

Drive through the Olympic Site? Yes you can.

Did you know that you are able to drive through the heart of the Olympic Site right now?

I did it this morning and the pictures here show how close to the structures you can get, of course you cant stop or get near as security fences still exist, and you'd be a fool to try.
