We've seen these guys up there before, but I never had a chance to get a picture. I think they're cleaning the roof. They're probably 16 or 17 stories up!

A two family worker's' house at The long Pond Ironworks. This one is of stone. It was restored after a fire.
Railway worker - Grahamstown, South Africa. This is another image that has remained in my portfolio for many years (see earlier uploads in my photostream).
I took it while I was a student studying for my Postgraduate Higher Diploma of Journalism at Rhodes University.
I was crossing the railway bridge when I looked down and saw this worker walking along the tracks. Immediately I saw the potential for a graphic composition using the structure of the bridge railing. Then it was just a matter of waiting for the worker to walk into the right position in the composition. All I had time for was one shot. My heart jumped when I pressed the shutter and I instantly knew I had captured something worthwhile. It's a good example of anticipating the moment.
Famous South African photographer, Obie Oberholzer, my teacher and mentor at the time, praised the image when he saw it. He suggested I print it on a high contrast paper to add more impact, which is of course exactly what I did.
I followed his advice and this image has stood me in good stead over the years.
My camera at the time was a Pentax ME 1. Shot on Ilford HP5, developed and printed in the University darkroom.
Hope you enjoy it too.
The ruins of a church in the 'square mile' which is now a public garden. There was no one in sight when I went here on a Sunday, but apparently it is very popular on weekday lunchtimes where office workers have their lunch and relax. Well worth a visit!
From wikipedia:
St Dunstan-in-the-East was a Church of England parish church on St Dunstan's Hill, half way between London Bridge and the Tower of London in the City of London. The church was largely destroyed in the Second World War and the ruins are now a public garden.

Salt pan workers near the temple of Jogninar, Vill. Sanghad, Kachchh. Their bright colored dresses stand out in the white snow and sandy land.
It was winter, and still it was difficult for us to stand out under the hot sun, when those workers carried out their daily routine activities.
