My World: Untitled.

The title could be 'Work' or 'At Work' - I see some relationship to the way Lewis Hine saw work.
Then there is that little detail that catches my eye: All in the photo could belong to almost any time period since photography exists, but the digital wristwatch puts it off balance for this point of view.

For me it is a invitation to check my viewing habits and expectations.

Best regards,
Michael

Michael, thank you for stopping by and providing me with your insight. It is much appreciated.
' At Work ' would be my choice.

Take care.

Fahim,

When I see a beard with such clothes, I immediately think of a devout man, concerned with meditation or prayer and not a laborer. Of course, even laborers can be devout and everyone, not on a happy income, has to get some job to put bread on the table, but it's not like a workman here in my area, where the clothes might be more rigged, rough and even shabby.

Also his left hand is held low which to me indicates that he might not be used to using the pick-axe.

I wonder what he's trying to do.

Asher

Asher, thanks for the comments.

This is from sometime ago, when we were having some renovations done to our home. I posted some images at that time.

We wanted to widen the flower bed. You correctly surmised that they are not the ' experts ' in garden design. However, they helped us out to dig the ground.

Best regards.
