My neighbor brought home a massive trailer last week and hired Joey Sutherland of 'White Stag Concepts' to weld rails on it. I was sitting in the big chair and could hear him out there as the sun was setting, on a whim I donned the long lens and asked him if I could take a shot. I only took the one, luckily it turned out, enough so that he put it on the top of his web page. :-) His welds are terrific by the way and he enjoys custom art and projects if you are in the market. (no, I wasn't paid for the photo or the plug....) :-)
blow it up and check out the arcs on his visor, way cool, and thanks for stopping by.
No dishwashers were hurt in anyway during the production of this photo... Name's withheld to protect the innocent... :- )

The Golden West Hotel (also known as the Workingman's Hotel) was built by San Diego entrepreneur and civic leader John D. Spreckels, using the architectural firm of Harrison Albright, in particular John L. Wright, a son of Frank Lloyd Wright. Designed in 1913, it was built in the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego with sculptures by Alfonso Iannelli at the corner. The hotel was designated a historical landmark by the San Diego Historical Resources Board in 1974. In 2007 the original telephone switchboard was still in the lobby.

Un ragazzo dell'età che comincia a staccare bestemmie
non sa fare discorsi. Nessuno
ha voluto seguirlo. Era un'alba bruciata di febbraio, ogni
tronco colore del sangue aggrumato. Nessuno sentiva
nell'aria
il tepore più duro.
Il mattino è trascorso
e la fabbrica libera ogni operaio.
Cesare Pavese
he worked. the wheel carried more than concrete. it rolled time and repetition. he didn’t look up once.
This photo is named ”The grey mass”. You know, the big mass of people who live their lives on a scheme, in locked positions. Everyday looks pretty much the same. Wake up, go to work, eat, watch television, sleep. Over and over again, on repeat, with expressionless faces. I guess we all live that life sometimes, some more than others.
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
This photo is the first in a series and also the start of a collaboration between me and Beata Rydén.

"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. One fancies a heart like our own must be beating in every crystal and cell, and we feel like stopping to speak to the plants and animals as friendly fellow mountaineers. Nature as a poet, an enthusiastic workingman, becomes more and more visible the farther and higher we go; for the mountains are fountains — beginning places, however related to sources beyond mortal ken." John Muir: Nature Writings
A tough and dangerous life handed down from Father to Son for generations and this is no exception.

This image shows the wall of Ijen crater seen from Paltuding about 3 km.
The Ijen volcano complex is a group of stratovolcanoes in the Banyuwangi Regency of East Java, Indonesia.
The active crater at Ijen crater has a diameter of 722 ft (2,369 metres) and a surface area of 0.41 square kilometres (0.16 sq mi). It is 200 metres (660 ft) deep and has a volume of 36 cubic hectometres (29,000 acre·ft).
Ijen and its sulfur mining was featured as a topic on the 5th episode of the BBC television documentary Human Planet. In the documentary film War Photographer, journalist James Nachtwey visits Ijen and struggles with noxious fumes while trying to photograph workers. Michael Glawogger film Workingman's Death is about sulfur workers.
In addition to the wonderful things associated with visiting NOLA, I saw a lot of people working very hard every day and even as the nightlife was ending and sunrise was just around the bend.

Old Havana wakes with color and cadence. On this April Tuesday morning, the streets hum with life—bicitaxis glide past weathered facades, Cuban flags flutter above murals of resistance and art. Locals stride with purpose, bound for work, while the sun casts golden light on colonial balconies and independent dreams. This is not just a city—it’s a living canvas of history, hustle, and hope.
Jerry Garcia joined forces with lyricist Robert Hunter to pen the songs on this album, which includes as its most country-rock track the wonderfully dark "Dire Wolf".

Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
Bring me my boots and shoes
You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues

Just a shot of 3 tugs doing what tugs do when they're not out tugging.
I've always liked tugboats, they're the workingman's boat in the nautical hierarchy of seagoing vessels. They're not pretty, they're not sporty, they're not quick, they're not luxurious but when you need something big pushed around they're ready and willing to help!
Also in this shot is the Maria Soledad Primera, not exactly sure what kind of a boat she is. Looked on Marine Traffic but there was no listing for her.

Monument to the working man - If you rub his head, money will be yours forever.
while I was working in hall barn industrial estate Isleham, Cambridgeshire, I saw these two men painting this wall, just outside the shadow cast by another building.
History of the Ponemah Mills per Wikipedia
Ponemah Mills, about 1918
The Ponemah Mills, a cotton textile factory, was built on the Shetucket River where a large dam could be built to provide power. The large mill building (Building No. 1) was purported to be the largest weave-shed under one roof at that time. The original workers were predominantly Irish immigrants, and they were hard hit by the depression of the 1870s that began with the Panic of 1873. Unemployment rose and wages dropped appreciably from 1873 to 1875, causing bitter relations between workers and management in many places.[3]
Mill housing in Taftville
In April 1875, the 1,200 workers went on strike. The mill owners had raised rents in company-owned housing as well as prices at the company-owned store. Wages at the time were under $10 for a 67-hour work week. In one often-cited anecdote, a workingman said he and his daughter had worked full-time for more than three months but only had four dollars between them to show for it. The immediate cause of the strike was a pay cut of 12 percent in an attempt to stop unionization. Workers were told half of the pay cut would be restored to anyone who had not participated in trying to form a union at the company.[3]
The company replaced the workers with French Canadians, who would come to number more than 70 percent of the population. Workers were evicted from company-owned housing, and the Connecticut General Assembly passed a strict "tramp law" aimed at workers (such as those from Taftville) who became drifters after their strikes were broken.[3]
Ponemah Mills operated for about 100 years. It sat abandoned for over 40 years until being redeveloped into residential apartments.[4]
A similar mill and village community is Wauregan Historic District,[5] which is also NRHP-listed.
