Comment: The use of looking through the pipe, manhole or other framed item can be over done so I have learned to throw in a framed shot on technical stuff whenever possible, but only as an adjunct. It gives the editor an option and works well with other pictures such as were used in this assignment with a cover story that jumped to an inside photo spread. The down side of using  frames such as this one is that they eat up the ink.  In newspaper, that means dirty hands for consumers and occassional complaints.  On the technical end of these assignments, always ask the workers if they are supposed to be wearing goggles and gloves. Sometimes they forget and if you shoot the assignment without the proper safety equipment, you might as well throw it away.
