5.0 out of 5 stars It's about culture, way of life and, of course, work., October 4, 2008
By Parka
Length:: 0:41 Mins

The 190 evocative, wonderfully varied images collected from here span well over a century, from photography's early decades in the 19th century to the first years of a new millennium.
- A section from the book jacket

The collection of photographs showcases people of different jobs going about with their daily chores.

I like how each photo transports me to the scene where the photographer stood. One moment, I'm beside people cycling to work in the rain, the next, I'm watching workers mine sulfur. And it goes on and on. Although I might never visit these places, the feeling of being there just by looking at the photos is satisfying enough.

This book is not just about the different occupations, it's about religion, culture and people's way of life.

The video was awesome. You are the first person I've seen do that. That helps me a lot in deciding whether or not I should buy a book I'm not sure about. Thanks.
