I photographed a group of Dabbawalas exchanging lunchboxes just across the street from a train station.
(See the two previous captions for additional information on this 125 year old lunchbox delivery system.) In this final image on the Dabbawalas, I photograph one of them from behind. I watched him as he sorted lunchboxes at a transition point in a delivery system that stretches across the entire city. Here he carries a few more “Dabbas” to a pickup spot just down the street. As an older man, he takes each step carefully, preserving his energy on a task he has probably been doing for many years. We never see his face, but we feel both his experience and his effort.
