Sewing machines...

Posted by Nicholas (Shah Alam, Malaysia) on 8 October 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Literally, the machine and the people as well. They just sew and sew. Tourists come here to buy despite goods being sold at a higher price to help these under-privileged or handicapped people. Taken with Nikon D40 and 105mm.

The colours here are wonderful. The slight blur on her wrists show that she's working and not posing.

Is this in Hoi An? I have a similar photo that I took here, but mine didnt come out so well (too dark inside!). It amazes me how hard these poor women work, it seems endless. I like her concentration, she almost looks like she is on autopilot!

Wonderful shot she looks so tired. I have often wondered what it looks like in these work shops.

Great candid! I like the motion of her wrist and hand - makes the flurry of her activity seem evident.

Like composition and light on the face of the first girl, but she looks so sad and tired...
