PRAISE FOR SANDHOGS
"Eight-hundred feet down, sandhogs...are working around the clock toward completion of
what has been called the largest construction project in the western hemisphere-the city's third water tunnel. But the sound of their giant drill is so buffered by layers of rock that New Yorkers sleep undisturbed, and even the dogs don't bark. [These] photos are as close as Gothamites will ever get to the $6 billion project... the 60-mile underground labyrinth."

"Gina LeVay's work captures with raw and striking beauty the sandhogs at work. These photographs provide a privileged glimpse into a hidden world. And they are also a hedge against the fate of far too many whom work with their hands - obscurity. "
