We recently spent 2 days at Malaysia's Fraser's Hill where we worked on an upcoming food story. Fraser's Hill is at 1500 meters above sea level making it possibly the only place in Malaysia where I have actually felt compelled to wear a jacket. The fog reminded me of a slightly more humid northern California.
Minus the non-Californian wildlife (Berkeley excluded).

It's no news that China has grown exponentially in the last decade. I lived there twice, once in the mid-80's and again the mid-90's so a trip back earlier this year was 'mind blowing' to say the least. But one thing that struck me was that China is being constructed (or deconstructed ) almost entirely by hand.
Everywhere you look there are the tell tale hardhats giving the impression that every other person is either a construction worker or moonlights as one on the side.
The workers are usually from the countryside, the city folk call them 'potatoes' and look down at them never acknowledging the vital role these people are playing in China's transformation.
The irony is that they will probably never get a chance to enjoy the cities that they have built.
Last week, in Jakarta, I was drawn back Sunda Kelapa port . Additional photographs and a much more eloquent explanation of the place can be found here.
The movement seems constant with the ships themselves providing these almost movie set like backdrops.
And the faces that have seen it all.
More to come..
There is dignity and honor in an honest day's work. These are shots from a larger piece of work I have begun on work that documents the people that really make the world go around.
Tools of the trade.
