Factory worker sam,
he hated his job
the shop floor
was
loud
cold
and cruel
he hated his manager even more than the job
about the only thing kept him going
was his braces.
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.

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.
