Tile by Tile
Tile by tile, smile by smile. Construction workers laying a sidewalk on a semi sunny day.
Having a laugh, making the jokes that you would expect, smoking a cigarette and working very hard. A subculture that sparked an interest within me. Such intense labour, yet nobody really seems to care. But I do.
Taking these pictures was an amazing experience for me. The men in the photos were really nice and welcoming. They were pleasantly surprised when I asked them if I could take some shots. They told me how they felt special, I was their paparazzi after all. I wanted to shine some light on the people behind the roads we drive and the sidewalks we walk on. I would love to see these pictures on the side of roads under construction. To transform irritations into appreciation.
