Face of the Faceless Photo

Photographer’s Note

Ever seen the face of the municipality sweeper?

Na,

Too busy littering…

Cigarette butts…

Coffee cups...

Chewy wrapper…

Perving on the girls going by,

Too busy…

Very good shot !
Without the glorious jobs of the sweepers , the whole world will become dusty , dirty and unsafe . Let's salute to all of the glorious sweepers of the world !

A shot so simple, so efective, but indeed authoritative.
Its the small things which make life beautiful.
B&W suits the mood of the shot.
Well Done Kamran.

Hi Kamran, Successful shot of this worker. Unusually I think not being able to see the face works as it makes the persons function/activity the subject rather than their personality. cheers, Steve

Hey Kamran,

I do admit walking across the streets of Hong Kong without really minding these hardworking people. I noticed most are middle aged women or even older still manage to work on cleaning up streets. Sometimes they do get in the way with their trolleys which is the main means of transport for garbage across pavements. But this is reality, they do appear rude when you happen to come across them, just doing their job like most of us do.

One of the many things you see around Hong Kong we do seldom notice coz there are just 'street sweepers'. The thing is these women make Hong Kong a clean city and that we have to face ;)

Sharing you one of my version captured in Hong Kong park.
