Residents of Sucre take great pride in the cleanliness of their historic city. Everywhere I photographed, there were city employees working in crews such as these to remove litter and debris, as well as tidying exposed earth, as they do in this image. I make this photograph interpretive by exposing with my spot-metering mode on the bright background, abstracting the crew working in the shadows and making them appear almost as costumed actors in a theatrical setting. Two of them wait their turn at right as their partners work here. I retain a trace of their distinctive red city uniforms in the shadows, binding them together into one cohesive unit.
