Emar Khan,how he spelled his name for me in English is a day labour worker at a construction site near my house in Chittagong. Working for a staggering 9 hours in this harsh weather, he earns a day living of 250 taka(just over 3 USD). It had just rained, and he lit a smoke from his fellow colleague at the site.
I stayed there for a while,took a few photographs, and went back home.

Netherlands, Rotterdam, Kop van Zuid, Wilhelminapier, Rijnhavenbridge, Construction worker (six word story, uncut).
Last wednesday Jaap and I met to shoot the Rijnhaven bridge. It's 2 months from its completion now. The weather was too grey, the light too subdued, so I'll spare you pics of the bridge itself.
Photographically the main points of interest were formed by the colourful construction workers.
While processing I noticed that like in the team, a mayonnaise bucket was used. Is there an international mayonnaise conspiracy going on? :-)

Followers of mine may recognize this photo. This is actually a re-post after I accidentally made a wrong choice on LightroomCC and wound up deleting it from Flickr. #*@~?+^!
An ALCAN (Alaska) Highway construction worker uncovers permafrost in this early 1940s photo from the U.S. Public Roads Administration FWA. Caption: “Chopping permanent ice uncovered in August on the ALCAN Highway. Melting of such ice when the insulating cover is removed is one of the problems solved.”
To say that the permafrost problem was “solved” at that time was premature. Many stretches of the Alaska Highway to this day still have significant roadway upheavals caused by permafrost.
This photo was most likely purchased by Bill for his album of scenes along the Alaska Highway. In 1943 he was a civilian worker constructing the ALCAN Highway in British Columbia and Yukon.

One last major project for the year involved adding new maintenance free fascia and soffits to the house. Having some handsome young construction workers doing the job was a side bonus!

The crazy kids over at the Relax-o-matic Plushitorium made their very best cat calls, and drank as much keg beer as they could while "on the job" in Black Rock City this year. You know? Just as your everyday construction worker would! Who wouldn't want to spend a hot sunny afternoon around a manhole?

A couple of months ago I was doing one of my periodic wanderings through the Hamilton, Ontario downtown area to see what I could find. As part of the ongoing renewal process underway in downtown Hamilton, I came across a demolition site on Hughson Street. The building had been demolished and the rubble largely cleared out. One worker was up in a scissors lift, tethered via a harness to the platform of the lift and was working on some residual materials. The bright yellow reflective safety vest in the dappled late afternoon light caught my eye. - JW
