Nairobi, Kenya August 2005
I am interested in mechanics because every time I leave town there is sure to be a car story involving a breakdown. An ingenious mechanic somewhere always finds a way to get the car back on the road. When I made this photograph I saw something poetic about the scene, the camaraderie of the men working, a pride in a job well done, a challenge met. The greys and browns present an excellent palette and good tonal quality, and the interaction of man and machine gives a sculpted look to the image.
what does the brown and blacks have to do with mechanic? Think only an expert eye and mind can know what you mean.
thats what we call passion for what we do.
i see it … good eye, jerry.
please tell me how a mechanic determines my safety. include the ways in which a malicious mechanic can ruin my life
