17 March 2003 Bourguiba Mausoleum, Monastir

Let's Get Some Real Work Done Here

After the rain, a man whips out a squeegee and gets to work, sweeping the puddles outside the mausoleum away, while his smartly dressed colleagues in all-important-looking uniforms chat away idly.

Cleaning and washing public areas is a wonderful picture opportunity. I like this one for its incongruities. The small scale of both subjects and image make it difficult to see the detail but I don't think detail is the point here as much as the incongruous contrasts between those who work and those don't. I am glad you shot this because it makes a point about the society itself. I attach links to two of my own street cleaning images from Burma and Laos that I think you will enjoy:http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/40174228
