Sometimes the images from ENR's annual photo contest take you to completely different worlds in construction. You only need to reflect on a single week of work in any corner of the industry to appreciate that construction people come from many walks of life and carry out vastly different activities—and one activity can influence or affect another, even though there is apparently no direct connection between them. Similarly, there are few
straight lines any more in getting a project or a program or a company or a career from one place to another. We must sometimes loop and twist and circle in order to return to our chosen path and reach our goals.
