Team work is what this job takes.
Well spotted and captured. Nice contrast in B&W.

Wonderfully observed, Sharon. Superbly presented, and I too rather like that quote

Perfect synchronisation of their movements and steps. A real team. Haven't the faintest idea if it's paradise or not but it's a great street shot.... :-)

Amzing street shot! Love the B/W conversion. Well done!
10 Feb 2009 7:05am
I can hear them make those heavy stuff roll up the street ! Fantastic moment you captured*
10 Feb 2009 7:47am
Lovely candid street capture. Tells the story of a typical busy day in our society today!
10 Feb 2009 8:03am
excellent street shot and profound quote. did you find in a fortune cookie? :)
10 Feb 2009 8:04am
oh, think twice :) it's a garbagey world alright, and some poor souls get stuck dealing with it... well seen, Sharon

This is way better than the cheesy song from Phil Collins! ;)
10 Feb 2009 8:44am
Your photography is excellent true to life not staged great work !!
10 Feb 2009 9:04am
Cool b&w - like what you bring here. I was thinking about the quote could have mean something about don't throw stuff out, since you might need them? The again not throwing stuff out will leave of you with a smelly driveway and angry neighbors.

a great street life capture ! hard work for them ! excellent BW and timeless shot.

What a moment.
From one hand, I love this "human chain", from some point of view, it even makes "us" look like ants.
On the other hand, it's not an easy situation for those women.... Nicely seen.
10 Feb 2009 10:03am
Poor ladies. that's got to be a rough and dirty job.
10 Feb 2009 11:31am
hah!!! Love the title. Wonderful story you tell Sharon. The composition is superb.
10 Feb 2009 11:48am
Great timing. People can find a way to socialize and enjoy each others company in almost any situation. That’s the positive side of this image. Clever image, with a sense of realism and humor.
10 Feb 2009 11:49am
your title makes me laugh! excellent image, tells a story of it's own.
10 Feb 2009 11:56am
Excellent street life capture! I like it!
10 Feb 2009 12:01pm
Great street shot. Very funny title.
10 Feb 2009 12:11pm
Perfect title for this picture of the daily. Excellent documentary shot!
10 Feb 2009 1:04pm
Great shot. I like that their back is turned to the camera, highlighting the anonymity of this type of labor.
10 Feb 2009 1:22pm
Nice street scene. A slice of everyday life.
10 Feb 2009 1:46pm
Perfect capture and quote that inspire a viewer to think and feel!
10 Feb 2009 2:26pm
The boots, the aprons, the gloves, the hair nets, not a lot glamour, more and more where turning into the working poor.
10 Feb 2009 3:25pm
Definitely not a great job to look forward to every day, but they are probably a bit better off than some of the characters in Phil's song. Super capture.
10 Feb 2009 3:56pm
An amazing image that speaks volumes about the real world. Brilliantly done.
10 Feb 2009 4:47pm
Great ! I love images that tell stories !
10 Feb 2009 4:51pm
This is a wonderful image and even better in B&W - great shot!!
10 Feb 2009 5:19pm
For many immigrants, in the majority of countries, it is the history of its lives. Magnificent photography.

Really nice candid shot showing the daily work life off these ladies!
10 Feb 2009 10:38pm
A nice peek at city life and the people working there.
10 Feb 2009 10:59pm
Whatever they're toting must be bad since they need boots and all that other stuff. This is a great shot of work drudgery. The jobs someone is doing that are needed and less glamorous. There is feeling in this shot. Very nice.

I like the symmetry of this shot--wonderfully composed.
11 Feb 2009 6:58am
This reminds me of an ally restaurant type shot I missed. I wasn't feeling very bold that day, and hesitating, I missed it.
11 Feb 2009 3:59pm
you show that anything can be beautiful if it's seen the right way.
13 Feb 2009 12:12am
great capture and great title. I like the repeating pattern of the person - bin - person - bin - person, and the sense of action, as if they are dancing.
