Young Laborers

If you get away from the sheltered confines of your hotel, or the family with whom you are staying, and meander to a worksite, you may notice some of the workers are very young. These boys were at a local farm. The scars and markings on their hands and body indicate they are veterans of hard labor, albeit at an early age.

(Below is a photo of the original, shot in Tri-X Pan, printed in a good old fashioned dark room – this does not capture many nuances in the print image unfortunately.)
