1606_1615 Maintenance Workers, Banff

            I was at a lookout point along the Icefields Parkway in Banff when a big yellow truck pulled up. The two guys were pumping out the outhouses along the road. They seemed to be enjoying their job, and I asked them if they'd pose for me. It's the only posed photo in the current set of Working People. I don't know what their job title may be, so "maintenance worker" will have to do. 

Really I prefer candid people shots; always have. I like the challenge of trying to capture snippets of regular real life. But this situation did not lend itself to a shot like that, and I'll take what I can get. 

Tomorrow: back to candids!
