Working For A Living

My photography is about what I see. Spur of the moment, off hand shooting is the way I approach things. In this photo I was in a taxi stuck in traffic. I noticed this man laying on the wall moving slightly. I didn't think much of it until he sat up and swung around. There in his hand was a motorcycle's engine cylinder. He had rinsed it in an open water runoff... that also contained sewage. I never had time to roll down the window, but took the shot anyway. This is the life of a street mechanic.
