Big Picture: At Work

Posted in General, Photography on February 21st, 2009 by Deems

I’ve just come across the latest post at Boston.com’s The Big Picture, of various people at work in various industries. It’s an impressive collection showing people from around the world, at work. [via Boston.com]

When the economy makes big news, many photographs of people at work come across the wires, usually to help illustrate a particular story or event. By collecting these disparate photos over the past few months, I found that a global portrait emerged of we humans producing things. People assembling, generating, and building items small and large, mundane and expensive, trivial and important. I hope you enjoy this look into some people’s work lives around the world. (45 photos total) – source Boston.com

Fewer than normal posts

Posted in General on February 21st, 2009 by Deems

To my regular readers, all 11 of you :) , sorry for the fewer than normal posts this month. Unfortunately work has gotten in the way. Yeah, don’t you just hate it when work gets in the way of fun things? Anyway, this phase of the project I’m currently on is coming to a close this month, so hopefully the pace will be more bearable from next month onwards and I’ll have a little more time to dig around for interesting things to share with you, or write a little rant or two.

To all the non-regulars, keep watching this space, always an interesting thing or two being shared here.
