Photographer’s Note

I found these 2 guys using a circular saw an interesting subject.
Everywhere here on the construction site, You will see these burning metal buckets next to the workers, to keep them warm.
I believe a pov from the side could maybe be better, but i wanted to include the bucket as well, and couldnt move to the left side due to a wall.

Your photo is the outstanding example as simple camera to make a good photograph.
There are many interesting details. Work attracts view.

Hi Harry,
like the environmental portrait of the two workers. Use of b&w is good as it is harder to date the photograph. At least you considered working around the subject which is very important as it is surprising just how much the scene can change.
Best regards
Mark

Your working man series must be unique on TE. I don't know a thing about this kind of occupation so find it fascinating. I'm amazed at the quality you are achieving with a compact camera. Excellent work.

Harry,
what a contrast between your Turkey shots and mine. You are very concentrated on daily hard labour, most of it in B&W and mine are the beauty and enchanting city of Istanbul - the typical tourist shots. I love your series, a very inspiring one and makes me wonder of how hard working you were in Turkey with a little bit of time left for taking this shots.
