Off to work, Goa, India, 2016

The expression on the face of the man holding a rusty pickaxe in his hand is very expressive. It speaks of confidence, patience, and anticipation. He was traveling to work on his partner’s motorbike. They have stopped to let our tour bus cross their path, and I made this image through the window of that bus. The handle of the pickaxe is firmly anchored on his leg, yet, quite incongruously, the blade points directly at the neck of his partner. Meanwhile the man driving the motorbike is not at all concerned that there is a pickaxe pointing at his neck. He turns away at this moment, confident that his friend sitting behind him on the back seat knows what he’s doing.
