Earnings....., a photo from Orissa, East

Photographer's Note

No matter what is the season and the wheather conditions outside her jhopdi..she has to come and clean the roads before we the so called civilised and clean human beings come out for the business.When we people are taking sips of hot tea still on the bed and blanket clad these people in good numbers are already on the roads and give us a clean environment to make it dirty again for an entire day.the cycle goes on and on.We dont even think for once about our responsibility towards the society.

This woman registered with a local contractor who has won the bid for the Bhubaneswar municipality Corporation and does not even has a permanent job to support her.Her earnings range from somewhat 1000/- to 1200 Rupees per month.

Hello Satya.
A nice daily life image. I like the mist in this photo, and your use of the tree for framing effect. I would have cropped it differently, including more on the right and less on the left, so the woman would be a little more off the centre. I think it could also be a bit sharper.
Thanks for the good notes!
Regards,
Andrew

Hello, YOu picture is very nice and I like you note, which reflect what you think. However, I might comment that note. Cleaning for others while other are sleeping as you said might appear a bad job but it can be seen in another way. Somehow, these people make our daily life nicer, and for all of us, and it is important. Why should we clean our house and why not the street. What is important is to recognize people doing that job, by treating them decently and by respecting these jobs.
