Naming the beams for Dana Farber patients

"It has become a beloved ritual at Dana-Farber: Every day, children who come to the clinic write their names on sheets of paper and tape them to the windows of the walkway for ironworkers to see. And, every day, the ironworkers paint the names onto I-beams and hoist them into place as they add floors to the new 14-story Yawkey Center for Cancer Care." Amazing. Heart warming. We work this concrete, iron and steel with our flesh and blood.

Amazing. Heart warming.

We work this concrete, iron and steel with our flesh and blood. With our hands we will meld this cold metal with our hopes and wishes. We work this dream together.

Just because my old boss is Swedish. In fact he's there right now. And it's not like he'll ever read this. Right?

I had blogged about this picture nearly 5 years ago. I was sad too see that the link was broken. But I found the image again via the Internet Wayback Machine. This is from Igor Menaker Fine Art Photography.
