Shoe Brush Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This lady works hard to make sure her customers have bright and shinning shoes. Not sure she uses the best of clothes for the job. Also, perhaps it might take some time to brush a shoe with a toothbrush. She may be, perhaps, a master with it however.

Photo taken along the shores of the Yangtze river near Chongqing. People seem to take to a good work ethic here. Life is tough, but a full days work is worth their time ... even tough work like this .... on a rather hot day.

Hi David,

The scene is very well captured here. Tough life really for some! But she seems dedicated and her means are interesting as well!That is the essence of the photograph!

TFS,
Neelima.

Hello David,
incredible! I mean, indcredible clothes for such kind of work! Interesting moment, and a good note to the photo :) The lady seems to be very concentrated on what she's doing...
I wonder who was the customer who came to have his shoes polished! if I were you I would take more photos... at least, one more - of them both!
best wishes from Moscow,
Elena
