This image is all about chaos, Kal. There is chaos in the utility service -- the forest of poles rising from the city is festooned with wires that only this guy on the ladder probably knows how to repair. And there is chaos below as well -- a mass of bikes filling the sidewalks, and would be workers hunkered down in the middle of it, waiting for employment. Your photograph makes us consider the magnitude of how one can even begin understand what is going on here.

This succeeds both as a mordant social commentary as well as a brilliant technical exercise. Bravo!

I love this one. Kal! With all the bicyles, a person waiting for a job may be one of the many unemploymented people in China. And only those who are willing to risk, like the electrician up on the ladder, are able to find works to do..
