truck in gas station

after a long arduous journey, where he navigated curves, hills, shadows, rocks, precipices and scorpions in the desert, he finally pulled into a rest station to fill up his tank. wiping his forehead with cool fresh water he reaches for a beer to replenish himself.

worker in blue

one day he woke up and finally knew what he had to do.  he was no longer who he thought he was.  he needed to go against the prevailing current, to step out of line,  to break with family tradition.  he clung to his truth,  burning through the mist of confusion and uncertainty,  leaving only what was truly him, a chain-smoking metal artist.

workers at night

their day begins at sunset. in darkness they operate the machines, digging up the dirt to make room for another useless shopping center. the air is thick with the smell of oil. i could watch them for hours, their bodies so agile, moving in the night.
