Photographer’s Note

I suppose you could call this the 'supply room' of the cigar factory we took a quick look at. The place is lined with women working for about $200 (USD) a month, and all of them sitting there, doing nothing but wrapping the cigars.

Oh and a disgusting fact. Cigars are considered to be worse than cigarettes, but actually, cigars are made with tobacco leaves where-as cigarettes are basically made of the stem of the leaf... and these stems were lying on the factory floor... everyone was walking over them. They get swept up after a few days of drying, and then process starts of making the cigarettes. The little cancer sticks don't seem all that great anymore huh?

PP; Lightroom colour tweaks, then resized in iPhoto.

I couldn't decide which version I preferred, so check out the workshop as well, only of course, if you want. :)
