Description

Winner of Publisher's Choice Award, Association Monthly. In this powerful book, renowned author and photographer Earl Dotter chronicles the pervasive consequences of hazardous work in the United States where individual tragedies in the workplace are largely unseen by the public. Dotter's photography portrays the dignity, skills, and satisfaction of workers in America. His work gives testament to their achievements while illuminating the dangerous and dehumanizing aspects of their professions. In his own words, "When I experience tragedy in the workplace, I use the camera to explore not just the person or event, but my own reaction to it. If I am successful, the viewer will be able to stand before the photograph and feel the intensity of the moment as I myself felt it." - from Amzon
