Duthie mine in the roaring 20's. Not sure who the men are or what building this is. Wish I was able to ask gramps...

Sixty WSDOT workers from across the state formed the WSDOT Honor Guard during the Worker Memorial Event. There was one member for every worker killed on the job since 1950.

Hong Kong is the home of some 250,000 migrant workers. Most of them are coming from Indonesia and the Philippines. Every Sundays, they come out to meet friends and make calls to their families.

Communication helps to comfort and to sustain them.

Renos on St. Patrick's Cathedral.

This worker caught my eye, so I shot this as I was crossing the street.

Just glad my arse did not get swiped by a bus or cab while I took several to get the comp of the worker and the cross :)

Aix-en-Provence, France. Workers were protesting the government's disregard of victims of asbestos-related illness. One person joked darkly that we should take photos now because many of the protestors won't be alive in a year.

Hung on the front wall of the communist monument in huge concrete letters are verses of "The International" and "The Worker’s March". Bulgaria

This photo is part of the set Balkan Loop, part 3.

I`m assuming the workers stayed in this area next to the stables. The house is situated within the Jardines de Alfabia (Gardens of Alfabia) near Bunyola. The gardens are worth a look & can be found on the right hand side just before the Soller Tunnel. This was the former residence of the Governor of Mallorca...20/04/15

These workers from Bangladesh came to Singapore to earn better wages to improve their lives but now most are returning home in debt.

Construction workers are tough! Without the benefit of a crane, every piece of scaffolding, as well as that yellow water jug, had to be hoisted up hand over hand, bucket brigade style.

I attended the Workers' Party Rally last night despite them not contesting my constituency, just to experience the atmosphere haha. The stadium where the rally was held, was jam packed, and the crowd spilled over outside of the perimeter.

This is probably the most closely fought elections in Singapore for a long time(of course the incumbent party, the PAP will still hold power), and I'll be thinking long and hard whom to vote for.

Xining, Qinghai.

So yea, I saw the bunch of them standing there and chatting away so I took out my rig and started shooting. (Obviously) Soon enough, one of them walks over to me to chit chat on how he was feeling about me having my finger on the shutter in a subway. I spotted him from a mile away. The second he "unleaned" off the backwall and started towards me, I knew what was coming. No, it wasn't the guy who's looking at me in this frame. So the conversation went something like this... Let's call him Mr. Pee (Pee for Paranoid, he was a nice guy tho. He just happened not to know the rules of the company he works for so I had to tell him).

Mr. Pee (after getting close enough so I can hear him): "You know MTA doesn't allow you to take pictures of the subway."

I (am looking extremely surprised at this point) said, "Really! Last night (a lie) I read on the MTA website that general public is allowed to photograph in the subway as long as they are not using larger accessories with the camera such as flash and reflectors and what not...(a truth)"

Mr. Pee (smiling now), "Oh I'm just saying because I don't want you to get in trouble, I "think" you are not supposed to photograph in the subway..."

Now I know he's not paying attention to what I'm saying so I repeat myself with the whole "last night on the MTA website I read" jargon...

Mr. Pee, "Really?"

'Yup, really really!"

"You sure about that..."

"Absolutely. I wish I had a copy of the MTA laws but I just gave my last one to a cop who stopped me two days ago for the same reason..." (said that with the "most serious" of faces)

Mr. Pee tried to walk off but then stopped and said, "What's the purpose of the photos?"

I said this real fast, "for excessive release of dopamine in my head..."

"What? Come again..."

"Just for my personal use..."

"You a photo student..." (the train's pulling in)

"Nah, I'm a Math major at City College"

"Oh, u r a mathematician..."

"Something like that..."

I get on the train... and Mr. Pee walks back to his colleagues...

Mr. Pee & his colleagues really BIG

Construction workers are fashionable. You can always identify them by their "Tori Pants", wide legged trousers that look like MC Hammer's harem pants. They serve no real purpose except to make their owners look tough.
