“Workers: Worker are everywhere” has been a project about noticing the workers among our everyday lives. Their work is within the public sphere, on the daily basis, serving us in big a small ways. No way around it, most of us have to work for a living. Before we know it, our lives become defined by our work. I have been making photographs of the people who do their work in the public arena: roofers, painters, food service providers, construction workers, grounds keepers. The workers who make the lives better for all of us are everywhere.

Many of us are told to “follow our bliss.” If we are lucky, we will love what we do for a living. If we are like most, we will have some good days and some bad days, some sick days and some holidays. My “Workers Project” puts attention on the work of our lives that so often goes under-appreciated, under-valued and un-noticed.
