La lessive à la main - a photo on Flickriver

La lessive à la main

            Mumbai (Inde) - Les six premières photos de cette série consacrée aux Dhobi-Wallahs sont essentiellement des plans larges. Des plans adaptés à la compréhension de ce lieu insolite. 
Mais il ne faut pas négliger pour autant les plans plus serrés, sous peine d’avoir le sentiment de voir toujours la même photo. Même si elles ne sont pas réellement identiques.
L’homme sur la photo a préalablement trempé le linge dans de l’eau savonneuse, puis le frappe vigoureusement sur le ciment. C’est ainsi que les textiles sont lavés. Si une tache subsiste il la supprimera à l’aide d’une brosse. L’huile de coude a encore de beaux jours à Mumbai.

Hand laundry

Mumbai (India) - The six five photos in this series dedicated to the Dhobi-Wallahs are essentially wide shots. Plans adapted to the understanding of this unusual place.
But you shouldn't neglect the tighter shots, otherwise you'll have the feeling of always seeing the same photo. Even if they are not really identical.
The man in the photo has previously soaked the line in soapy water, then hits it vigorously on the cement. This is how textiles are washed. If a stain remains he will remove it using a brush.
