Apparently, in shoe factories in China, it takes two hundred pairs of hands to make a running shoe. Cutters stamp sheets of fabric to form soles, stitchers then sew them together along with logos, shoelace eyelets etc, followed by sole workers who use an infrared oven to glue the soles and frame together. Assemblers will, of course, further assemble the various parts into a final product and finishers will do a quality check and pack. (“Factory Girls”, Leslie Chang, 2009)
So much labor and so many man-hours. A never-ending supply chain that envelops an entire country.
How many pairs of shoes does a construction worker go through in his work-life time? I wonder.
The Big Pour: a convoy of concrete trucks are waiting in line to complete the foundation in one big uninterrupted pour. They started very early and finished as the sun was setting.
Anyone living in Bracknell is well aware of the town centre regeneration which is taking place. Our new town will be ready next autumn.
Much has been said about the new buildings and shops but very little about the huge army of builders, construction workers, electricians, plumbers and labourers who are actually putting the pieces in place.
This image is the first of a set I intend to post about these guys - The Regeneration Men.

A construction workers practical answer to the problem of a missing button on his Jeans waist band.
You really do need to have a man with this clarity of vision and problem solving ability with materials immediately to hand working for you and not the opposition.
The metal scrap largess was piled high on a the back of a huge lorry. It was so huge that I felt like a tiny child playing at the heels of a tractor.
As I sort through my photography collection tonight, I realize how many photos of construction workers I have accumulated.
How much rubble I have scrambled through, sweaty conversations I've had with equally sweaty men under the burning sun and how humble it has been seeing how hard they work.
They come from all corners of Mainland China, etching a rough life in the bright lights, big city of Shanghai.
