It's a very hard and very dangerous job and that smell that sticks on you. The conditions they work in along with the demanding schedule (no time for bathroom breaks) isn't for the weak. Trash collectors always have my respect.

They do this all the time. It likely only made the news that time because of the mass being moved. If you're in a homeless shelter you are at their will or you loose your roof and bed and sometimes more. If they want to move you an hour away, it's that or the street. You don't have a say when your homeless or in need like that.

This has to be my favorite self-portrait. Maybe ever. I'm excited to see it finished.
