Outside a restaurant in Jordan. On a street corner

Russ doesn't miss an opportunity to put the neighbor kids to work and they don't seem to mind. The minute he has the shop door open they appear looking to help with what ever project he is working on at the time.

These Freedom Towers workers were having a cigar break watching the Occupy Wall Street action.

As I was walking the backstreets of Singpore -- I captured the construction workers taking a break from the heat

En route to the Bring The Troops Home Vigil I'd happen upon a group of construction workers dismanteling a scenario that they had just constructed a few days before. This series 'is not about the butts' but is about those who make it happen. As a caterer many of these folks and I have crossed paths, many times.

My attempt is to document not only the event. But, also, the process. And as caterer and event coordinator I have much respect for those who as part of process 'make it happen.'

I have similar focus and respect when photographing police at protests and demonstrations.

It is not about the butt. But that is nice butt. At least from this perspective.

Druk Wangyal Chortens, Dochula Pass. Day 4, Guides: Rinzin/Gyeltshen. One hundred and eight stupas stand erect, commemorating the stability and progress that the 4th King brought to the nation. Indian construction workers are a vital part of the Bhutanese economy, creating vital roads and renovating many important structures. These particular workers gave me such hilarious looks as I passed them by. I couldn't resist a quick snapshot.

I took this Pictures while walking through the Elevated Walkway over Main Street, next to Kansas City Union Station, which is located near the intersection of Main Street and Pershing Road. The scheduled opening of the new streetcar line is late 2015.
