Subscribe to RSSTwo strong pictures of men at work by Danish Siddiqui. I came across the first picture early this morning on the Guardian's 'Eyewitness' iPad app, which is a neat tablet display of photojournalism "from the Guardian's centre page Eyewitness spread."

Felling Sari, are you?
The first shot on the top is obviously BP's next attempt at a Top Kill being performed remotely from thier Customer Service Center in Mumbai. The second shot is most likely men feeling very Sari.
Stokes, I love The Guardian, but I can't find much on The Oil Spill there.
Would innovations, health and safety code regulations, etc etc. put these folks out of work? Make their lives better? Hmmm, they aren't consuming a lot of energy, yet production is obviously low. The muscular gentlemen in the lower pic are a lot more fit than me even though I try to make it to the gym 3-5 days a week after a day at the office complete with a 20 mile round-trip drive. What a world we live in ...
Great thought-provoking pics.
Too tired to think of any good ones today, glad someone did!
The synchronicity of their action makes the shot, along with the flying water droplets and colorful 'exotic' clothes... Wouldn't be the same with old t-shirts.
