Terra Project - Northwest Commercial Photography

We recently photographed the assembly of some amazing, high-tech...well...um...huts. Maybe "huts" doesn't do them justice. These fiberglass shelters will become the framework for the first ever high-speed fiber optic and microwave telecommunication network in Southwest Alaska. Click the post's title for more information and photos.

The TERRA project, as this network is known, is an effort by the Alaska-based company, GCI (General Communication, Inc.). As this project is partly funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, it was important to show not just the technology and equipment but first and foremost the people whose hard work made all that technology come together. 

Special thanks to Mechan Media, who we relied on for video capture (sorry, none to share yet); all of the contractors who graciously allowed us to intrude on their work (Reiff Mfg., Olmstead Electric, and Fire Pro, to name a few); and to RH Strategic, who asked us to help with this project in the first place.
